Re: "Baseline Parameters for Internal Strength"
I believe Tomiki sensei was studying with the founder in 1926, before Kano sensei sent students to study in the early '30's. I recall reading (don't have the exact cite, since I am at work) that it was Isammu Takashita that actually introduced Tomiki to Ueshiba sensei, so I don't know that "Kano sent Tomiki to Ueshiba to learn ki/kokyu" at all. The hows and why's of that are a matter of speculation, I think.
Since Tomiki is known to have been able to do some of the "Ki tricks", I'd be interested in hearing if there are Tomiki folks studying IS, and how those individuals compare the Tomiki method to IS skill development, in this thread or another ....
