But despite his other credentials, it is almost completely doubtful that Stevens was also well-versed in the Chinese classical sayings about the training of qi, jin, etc., from which O-Sensei borrowed a number of his words, phrases, euphemisms, etc. Would you agree that is probable?

Peter G., Jun, Don, any thoughts?
Best,
Ron (I hear Peter is rather busy just now...might be a while before he can respond)
