is it possible to simultaneously harmonize with and intentionally injure an opponent?
One of the things that we strive for in seidokan is "the proper usage of ki". My understanding of that at this point in my training, is to take the correct action at the correct time. So if popping the guy in the nose or tweaking his elbow was neccassary at the time then yes it was done with harmonization....not sure if all of my instructors would agree with me though

"A pacifist is not really a pacifist if he is unable to make a choice between violence and non-violence. A true pacifist is able to kill or maim in the blink of an eye, but at the moment of impending destruction of the enemy he chooses non-violence."
