Many times when I read this forum I wondered why we think, write and talk so much about it, it really doesn't matter what Aikido is, just practicing it changed my life and makes me feel much better and that is enough for me.
IMHO, O'Sensei was a mystic and often didn't give clear definitions and instruction to possibly stimulate a personal internal search within each of his students.

I personally enjoy the think, write, and talk of AIkido as a form of mental practice. I have heard/read so many things that I never would have thought of myself.

IMHO, Aikido don't change us, we change us in the practice of Aikido.

Thanks for reading and responding.
