With regards to Ellis Sensei's supposed 'outspoken' nature. I say it's a shame more people aren't prepared to speak their mind. There's too much sugar coating in the world in general and I'm of the opinion that many individuals are often unprepared to hear often painful truth when it exists.

Yes Ellis Sensei speaks his mind, yes people have been offended by his directness, No, Ellis Sensei does not intentionally offend, he simply says what's on his mind, truthfully and sincerely. When Ellis Sensei is wrong he will apologise as sincerely and he speaks.
With all due respect toward Ellis Sensei and yourself, I don't believe there is a single, one-and-only Truth to anything, let alone Aikido.
