Re: O'Sensei teaching Aikido at the Hombu Dojo after WWII

And another interesting passage from Peter Goldsbury's post - http://www.aikiweb.com/forums/showpo...0&postcount=10

Quote:
Briefly, Mr Kitahira did not mention anyone by name when he made his "caustic" remarks and my own remarks tie in with what the late Kisshomaru Ueshiba once told me in a private conversation, namely, that O Sensei had no postwar uchi-deshi and that he himself had no uchi-deshi at all. Since I had been told previously by a number of shihans who entered the Hombu after the war that they were uchi-deshi of the Founder, Doshu's remarks were surprising, to say the least.
Best,

Chris
