Oh, my bad, I remember reading that Osensei went to Hawaii to "expand Aikido".

I think the words were "to build a golden bridge"...
Again, if you look carefully at the history, and what ACTUALLY happend, I think you'll find that aikido becoming a world wide art had MUCH more to do with the son than the father. There are points where the founder actually said "this is not MY aikido" [emphasis mine]. And that was in the Aikikai hombu dojo, run (I believe) by his son at the time. [could have been under Tohei then, not sure]
But hey, what ever floats your boat.

You're probably right about the "exhausting reading", I'm really suspect of folks who can't simplifiy even complex concepts. Why do you think Reader's Digest is so popular? Long , winded writings are just not necessary,imo.

Opinions differ, and that is a good thing.
