I agree David
Insult? Now discussing understanding or lack thereof is an insult?
People cannot credibly claim to know Ueshiba's work, but not be able to explain it and demonstrate none of his power much less stand their dumbfounded, not knowing what, or how I am doing what I am doing...with Morihei Ueshiba's aiki.

It's no wonder no one wants to be tested. If they are all grieved and insulted over that-imagine standing in a room and simply saying .....Throw me!
Put up or shut up and being put to the test, was forced upon, Ueshiba. Regretably that is considered rude in todays tender society.
Were it that way in 1935...we would not be here and none of you would have ever heard of Morihei Ueshiba. It's a shame that many of you cannot reconcile the truth of what you are involved in and spent so much of your life trying to do. Ueshiba's teaching is really some incredible work with tangible results that most of you will never know.
Why is one on one the way to go?
Upon encountering such profound work, most intelligent people.....start asking questions.
