"Greetings,

ai-KI-do. How long have you been practising or how long have you been pretending to practise aikido?"

David Yap

Well let's see? I have been practicing (practising?) for about 40 years! How about you?

Dose the saying "A rose by any other name" ring a bell? In fact several of the Japanese Shihan I have studied under have different ideas of what the "Ki" in ai-Ki-do stands for. You can call the art of aikido by any name as long as you practice the proper principles hell call it ai-chi-do if you want. Its just a word.
