I can demonstrate what I know and I can describe and teach it. But what Takahashi has written can in no way be said to be instructive or useful in any way, when it comes to understanding what aiki is.
To accept that or not, is everyone's privilege. But it is what it is.

Well, you missed his point about the hands. But if you feel that's in no way instructive or useful, fair enough.
