Well Stanleys interviews are pretty telling. Gathering everyone in a room with new questions would be great, but dismissing decades of cross referenced research is never a good idea.
Not the least of which is "what were you learning?"
one after the other, after the other....all of them...."We were learning Daito ryu."
Then when he retired and came back to hombu.

Dan,
Agree with you on Stanley. And I haven't dismissed that, but there is a lot of information there and it's taking quite a while to go through.
One day, maybe I'll be able to corrolate stuff better, but right now it's a working theory that I don't put a whole lot of time into.
I just wonder what it was that the students were doing that wasn't his Aikido? And what was his version of Aikido?
