Some I say good now you can do that you can see why it's not part of my Aikido.
Which brings us back to the question of why we're doing aikido in the first place.

You, as I understand it, study the Art of Peace which you manifest through your particular non-confrontational approach.

I'm all for the Art of Peace. Where we may differ is that I don't think you can pursue that Art if what you're doing isn't martially valid. The Sword that Gives Life is first and foremost a sharp sword.
