Re: "The Future of Aikido"
The future of Aikido is buried in the past yet hidden in plain sight.
Aikido is The Way of Aiki.
It's right there in the name. When people wake up to that simple fact, they will have new direction.
But everyone (99%) is rejecting it because they can't do it.
Think: Monks don't reject Buddhism because they don't 'get it'. Some, many perhaps, never attain their enlightenment. But they continue their search ... it is a search. But modern man wants 'it' explained in a syllabus. Actually, it is possible because aiki is a physical result of physical training.
Ikkyo as waza is no different to ippon-seoinage.
If you are not actively searching for aiki then you are not an Aikidoka.
