I wish I could remember,
Niadh , a poster here on aikiweb uses a quote roughly to the effect of your post as their signature.
The funny part is that it always reminded me of what i saw as the pacifist nature of the societal principles of aikido.
I'll ask a question now, so I'll have better reason and ability to reply.
Am I pacifist even though I wish to learn about violence? And odd way to say it, I know...
