Quod erat demonstrandum.
I find my experiences in aikido, while not nearly as extensive as Mr Ledyards, mirror his observations.
It is certainly true that one cannot always know why someone does or does not get on the mat, or why they push themselves or even why they show up, but there are patterns and Mr. Ledyards observations describe some of those patterns very well indeed.
Nice article. Thank you for writing it.
