You are wrong about the silk reeling in Japanese arts. As a private exercise it was thee very first thing I learned in DR. And I have had two masters of taiji tell me I was in fact doing a type of silk reeling "according to them."

Well, is it "in" daito ryu itself, or was this a personal skill that the particular teacher had developed, incorporated into
his DR and showed you? I ask because I don't know if you got this lesson from Tokimune Takeda or from whom. Mochizuki Sensei used a lot of boxing methods, but we wouldn't ordinarily say that boxing is "in" aikido. So I ask.

No, I don't. That's why I keep responding and keep working toward meeting with you. I want to know what you're doing and
how you're doing it, based on what people have described.

I have no vested interest in being right or wrong I really don't give a crap. It's not a question of needing, or wanting to be right. I'll show you what I know.
