Re: Ogi

I agree. Aikido seems to be much more general on these kinds of things.

Quote:
Particularly in that it seems quite paradoxical that "Hidden Techniques" should be openly published in a commercially available book.
It should be noted that this is a one page section with no waza. It is followed by a section on the Techniques of Gozo Shioda, but they are seperate in my reading of the book. I think some feel that the waza on subsequent pages represent the ogi...in a way (principles) that's probably true. But maybe not so much as people think.

Best,
Ron
