Think people

I think someone's missed the point. Regardless of how O'Sensei started his training or what HE went through, the point is more how he trained his students after he developed Aikido. O'Sensei was also trained to deal out death but he developed aikido becaue he was sick of that. Did it ever occour that possibly he was also sick of teachers that used the excuse of training students as a reason to abuse them?

does the fact that any one else had to undergo abuses make it right or mean that aikido instructors have liscence in any country or culture to abuse their students?

doesn't THAT kind of training fly in the face of numerous quotes from O'Sensei that talk about love, respect and so on?
