Re: Defining Aikido

It seems like there would be a scale of credibility decending from the current Doshu, on down through the rankings of the Uchi deshi, including well-reviewed authors, the accredited instructors and so on. At some point on that scale, most individuals will find a point where their faith wavers.

A general consensus could probably be reached and may already be established. In Yoshinkan Aikido, for instance, this is a pretty strict and formalized list.
