Ok, no problem, I can go into it more, but I would like you to ask me specific questions as I am not really sure what to say.

Please read through the articles on my blog on squatting monkey as well as the interviews with my teacher as they do talk in some detail of our methods.

Hello Jon,

I posted some links to your post in the introduction section. The two links showed examples of "reacting" against an opponent's force, as aiki arts are wont to do.

My question is: do you have this this "reactive" style within your art as opposed to the "proactive" method of striking, and. if so, does the usage of the "hara" differ according to the method ?

Thanks,
