Re: Is It Missing In Everybody's Aikido?

Josh,

age meaning upward like "Kiriage" (upward cut)
I used that term to describe one application of aiki.

My interpretation of what you quoted from Dan is that he is saying that the aiki he is researching has plenty of depth.

My interpretation of what you quoted from Mike is that he is saying that there are additional aspects of the broader-skillset other than what Mike suspects Dan to be researching. While I suspect this to be true (maybe more specific health aspects, and maybe some martial aspects, who knows) I have not yet read about any of the "value-adds" from these other aspects, and would really like to. So far, it always kind of reads to me like: "but wait, there's more...." and then not a lot about WHAT anyone would want what is "more" for. That's my personal take. Agree?

Rob
