Yes, he was, Dan. And a fine person with a great heart.
And he did tell me once that aiki is "the ura of kiai" but I thought it meant the ura of the attacker's kiai (to produce a technique adhering to the "reverse" of the attack).
However, my experience with you and others left me stumped until I thought of it as the reverse of my own kiai. That was another ura in itself.
But please: what do you think of that conception, as one of the few who can demonstrate powerful aiki and affect the opponent unquestionably?
Thanks.
