Two great articles at the same time! Peter Boylan of Mugendo Budogu (http://www.budogu.com) has given me permission to put his Master's degree thesis online here on AikiWeb entitled, "Aikido as Spiritual Practice in the United States (http://www.aikiweb.com/spiritual/boylan2.html)". It's a really long read -- prepare to sit down with a good cup of tea and some biscuits -- but very, very interesting.

Also online now is another article from Peter entitled, "Did Morihei Ueshiba Invent Aikido? (http://www.aikiweb.com/general/boylan1.html)". It's sure to give everyone something to think about!

Thought I'd post the pointers to the appropriate discussion threads for the two articles here:
