George Ledyard's thread on "Gus Learns to Fly" just reminded me of Sokaku Takeda's statement: "Aiki is to overcome the opponent mentally, at a glance, and win without fighting."
So he didn't go in to throw or to pin. And he was focused on winning, make no mistake--though he knew how to do it without fighting.
And that's worth thinking about.
