Well I'd like to throw in my 5 cents too!

It's true that every martial art has branched out.For several reasons, including a certain individual having other thoughts about certain subjects.We should not forget that martial arts are the creation of man and will evolve and adapt because of us.Authenticity is important!Not in the sense of who was the inventor or what's "real", but aikido not based on centering is not aikido.We should keep walking the aikido path,its a great highway with several lanes though..and to mr Willbanks, O-Sensei is not just a dead man to some people, you should put ur thoughts into words more carefully, I believe..just a suggestion
