Brilliant Post Alex and I agree with many of your replies to Sensei Ledyard...and Sensei Ledyard's musings are right on as well...

This is the kind of exchange Aikido needs to keep it relevant as a Martial Art...and...A Way...

The Irony here is I believe these two parts or "points of view" to be symbiotic...both would seriously lose something without the other...

I however am from the same "school" as you are...Aikido if it is to stay relevant as a Martial Art...It must have the tools to be one...and without those tools... One cannot build a place to house one's spirit.
