Re: Pre War Aikido, 1930 through Iwama period

I read somewhere, I guess it was in an interview from Saito sensei, that when he started training the Founder used to say that what he was doing before the war was wrong, and they had to correct it.

I wonder what he actually meant by saying that.
What do you think?

Anyway, I think that he wanted to take his training and the art to something else, not because it was really wrong, but because he had a different goal.
But IMO that does not mean we should forget what he did before the war. I think we can only understand the Founder, his ideas and his art if we look at his whole life and, of course, if we practice!
