Thank you all for sharing your experience or insight. It mostly answers my questions. I am still a bit anxious I won't like it as much as I like aikikai style (I appreciate the dynamic way we are taught, and I am a bit suspicious about too much "Ki-talk" - my current sensei has never pronounced the word 'ki' in a class), but I guess it is just my being ignorant. Or maybe I just like to be sweaty
and fly in the air
Oh, well, yes, I'll 'empty my cup'.
