I don't know and to be honest I don't really care.

I can see some similiarities in Aikido with several Chinese anternal arts. I do not know the extent of exposure O'Sensei had to the Chinese arts.

At times where it came from is not as important has the training today and where it is going.

The Zen answer would probably say its doesn't come or go to anywhere, it just is.

Until again,

Lynn
