Re: Demonstrating aiki, demontrating aikido.Same thing ?

From another site:
Quote:
Tokimune Takeda stated that DR doesn't own "aiki." That aiki has existed in Japanese martial arts for centuries.

Another current kodokia 7th Dan stated the same thing: "Daito ryu doesn't own the term, aiki."
And Sagawa essentialy stated no one really "got" aiki BUT him!

Call it what you will but Kimura and other Sagawa students, as well as any number of Aikido Shihan have been stopped dead in their tracks and easily handled by the internal power / aiki proponents.
Dan
Something else to think about during these conversations
