KI

In Nihon Goshin Aikido we talk about KI techniques as a re-direction of engery. We do not talk about KI as a magic or mystical power that is for others to explain.
As westerners it is much easier to think of it as physics. Whether it is an unbendable arm or two people are trying to lift you, there is energy being applied and you need to try and re-direct it with out using strength. That is the hard part.
Also Walt, since you are no longer a member of our association why do you keep refering to your system as Nihon Goshin Aikido?
