Re: The continued Evolution of Aikido
In any event, Clarence, you are setting up a false dichotomy: either aikido becomes more mainstream, more "commercial," or it dies. I don't think those are the only choices. I think you would first have to establish that it is at all in danger of dying. The art has many more practitioners than it had 20 years ago--so many in fact, that maintaining quality is becoming a serious issue.
