Re: New interview with Christian Tissier Shihan (in English!)

Yep Tissiers Aikido is much better than Takeda's magical flying Uke aikido.

Are some people on this forum seriously suggesting that Tissier hasn't properly understood his aikido lessons due his views on Ki? Seriously?
Oh heresy.

Sure why not? The same thing has been seen across a number of arts among other "experienced" practitioners.
Why do you think Ushiro would say "No Kokyu(power) no Karate", not to mention his same comment about Aikido.

Again, like I said before, no one's suggesting it was "his" fault for not understanding. If he was never explicitly shown or taught it, he wouldn't know "what" to train, much less "how" to train it. By everyone's account he's a great guy, hard working etc. Which makes it even more of a shame if the goods were withheld from him.
