WRONG
AIKIDO IS COERCION
Quote:
How does this relate to a sankyo that makes your eyes water, or an irimi-nage that feels like, well, nothing at all? I have no idea,

You don't know how it relates, because it does not relate. You have no logical connection. It does not relate, because love is not coercion. Aikido is not love.

You embrace these ideals irrationally, that is mystically, like so many others do.
