Another case of history repeating itself I think. Over my nearly 50 years in Aikido I've seen this happen so many times; usually there is a schizm (sometimes quite a severe and bitter one) followed after a period of time by a form of reconciliation where the parties end up collaborating in some way.
As Janet says in many ways it's a natural evolution; rather like children leaving home but coming back to visit and have family vacations together.
I wish all the best for the future to all parties concerned.
Dear Philip,
It may well be natural evolution to split up.As far a family reunions are concerned I might consider meeting some close relatives but others so called relatives I avoid completely.Of course these relatives are of the same mind in regards to me.hope you are well.Cheers, Joe
