Finally a contest I can relate to Aikido

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Incendia Health. All opinions are 100% mine.

So, Abbott Medical Optics Inc, a company who performs laser vision correction is having a iLASIK Video Contest highlighting the disadvantages of glasses or contacts over corrective surgery. Having run into this problem in a few dojo's around the country, I can definitely relate. What aikidoka has practiced with glasses on, or with a partner who was wearing glasses only to have them knocked off? I know I've dealt with the latter several times, and it can disrupt the flow of the dojo, no one wants to break someones glasses after all.

If I had a good enough video camera I would totally put together a video of submission. A video that shows just how inconvenient glasses can be during class at the dojo. There are some pretty good prizes on the line.

Here's the low down:


The Prizes
$5,000 Grand Prize

First Prize (one in each video category):
HDTV package — a $2,500 value

Second Prize (one in each video category):
