As long as they are not misleading their students as to what they are getting into, I totally agree. Especially considering that the alternative would be that all the aiki-seeking aikido teachers would quit for a few years and then return to aikido. That scenario would be a lot worse.
If you didn't think aikido teachers were'nt already changing day by day working to improve their aikido while they were teaching you I wonder just what you thought was happening??? If they now appreciate an new aspect of their art, so much the better.

Is it really that unheard of to attain new understanding and suddenly everything needs to be looked at in a whole new light. Like, you know, a certain Mr. U who after being bathed in golden light said everything had changed.

I guess I just never had the idea of a teacher or a sensei as a completed product to be consumed. I always expected new insight and evolution in those I trained with; even about the most basic things.
