Re: Shiro Omiya Shihan on "Aiki"

So is he wrong then?

Ron
I think that both Greg and Carsten addressed this point on another thread. No, I don't think he's wrong - but I think that a lot of people are misunderstanding what he's saying, and that if you look at this example of Aiki in the light of the body of his comments on Aiki that becomes fairly clear.

Best,

Chris
