Re: Aikibudo/Yoseikan Techniques

BTW, I'm not contradicting what Doug said I think. I am certain, and I think it rather obvious, that O-sensei had insights and growth over time. It would be kind of surprising and sad if he didn't. However, I'm guessing that technically speaking the big "thing" that turned the heads of so many diverse people, from the time he "splashed" onto the martial arts scene and throughout O-sensei's career, pretty much remained the same albeit with the addition of the inevitable legend that seems to accrue with prominent and beloved personalities.

Of course, what that "thing" was remains debatable as does who "got it" and who passed, or is passing, it on, etc.
