Re: Demonstrating aiki, demontrating aikido.Same thing ?
This subject is not difficult to discuss. It is being discussed. And some people's stuff is dismissed.
27 years of training is a serious commitment. My mind and eyes are open.
Demonstrating aiki and demonstrating aikido are not the same thing. Some aikido I have come across is completely devoid of aiki.
The aikido I train in has aiki. It is a serious part of our training.
Disagreement is not condemnation. Being dismissive to another's idea is.
What is shown in that series of clips featuring Dan was described in an interesting way by Erick Mead. I can't always understand what what Erick writes yet I understood his description of that.
He may be right or wrong. We did what the clips showed. It wasn't that hard.
