Dear aiki-jujutsuka,

the only thing that all good aikidoka should know in regards to their practice is not to ask questions. in aikido, function follows form. by taking your line of inquiry, it is disrespectful and heretical to your senpai, sensei, shihan, association, organization and/or style.

if you want to know how techniques actually work, you're better off studying another martial art other than aikido. but if you want to become a better person who strives for personal development and growth, then study aikido.

Of course, since you can't ask any questions, how do you know that Aikido actually gets you to personal development and growth?

Also, by your line of reasoning, how do you figure that Morihei Ueshiba wasn't disrespectful and heretical to his senpai, sensei, shihan, association, organization and/or style?

I'm sorry, but if you believe the above then you're in a cult, IMO.

Best,

Chris
