Re: Nice Jiyu waza
guys, if aikido was all about beating up each other i would instantly stop practicing! didn't osensei himself say that there should be no competition and you should just train for yourself and the only victoy should also be the victory over yourself? and since all "whatevernamed-styles" descend from osensei's aikido - as watanabe sensei, my teacher's sensei said: "all my students are not "my" students, they are students of osensei - i dont get the problem...but to give a statement to the "rocks-discussion": aiki rocks, whether aikikai or yoshinkan aikido or whatever aiki-style...as the names say, its all aiki.
