Re: Presence upsets my ki
IMHO, I find that many of the "presence that upsets ki" in the Dojo is the same "presence that upsets ki" outside the Dojo.
Take less of a look at them externally and more a look at yourself internally. Utilize them as teachers. Find what visual images or auditory self-talk you are using the let them "upset your ki". Without being harsh, you are giving them your ki, probably your mind. If at all possible, train with them more to learn how to keep your own balance, ki, and peace of mind.
The internal Aikido of self-transformation is so much harder than the external technical Waza. And, well worth it.
