My basic tenets I adhere to are from Statements by O'Sensei and indeed Tohei. Not from the view that they are mistranslations but from the view that spiritually they make sense. Statements like 'There is no attacker in Aikido for the moment he attacks he has already lost' (may not be word perfect) If I'm not mistaken Ki Aikido and Tohei prefered to use the term 'partner' instead of opponent. Another thing that physically and analytically don't make sense but spiritually makes perfect sense.
Graham,

Thanks for the effort(less way) to reveal the principles of Ki-Aikido layer by layer. Ki-Aikido is also something that needs hands-on experiences to know the unspeakable beauty of the art.

P.S. I recognized what you did from your videos with the funny hats.
