Re: Challenging notions of "tradition" in aikido

IMHO, simplistically, saying I have no tradition would mean I have not history, no lineage, no established path I am following lead by those who came before me.

I am not that talented or innovative (or egotistical) to think it starts with me or that I could come up with this stuff on my own..

Tradition is not an unnecessary obscurity, but an appreciated clarity.
