Hay David, hope life is treating you good this fine November morning.
I really do suppose that people have to use some sort of words to communicate ideas but I think it is not always necessary. Heck, sometimes I think words muddle the learning process. Folks can set around and talk about Ki and analysis it and verbally dissect it tell the cows come home but in doing so they will never know it. An experience that will always standout in my mind is the one time I was tossed ass over end by K. Tohei Sensei. No need to discuss ki after that. Just laying hands on so many of those old boys was enough to get the idea and keep it foremost in my mind. I seen dojos where talk was the principle means by which they sought to understand Aikido and I guess I believe more in the sweat factor.
Take care friend
Dennis
