Re: Challenging notions of "tradition" in aikido

With deliberate one-sidedness (and a broad reference to Amdur, Goldsbury, Hobsbawm & Ranger) I would like to make the proposition that speaking of tradition in aikido is an unneccessary obfuscation that serves to cloud issues rather than clarify them. Let's just do without it.

Thoughts, opinions, objections?
Hello Nicholas,

Would you make a similar judgments about other martial arts or ways, apart from Daito-ryu and aikido? Judo and kendo obviously come to mind here, as do some koryu bujutsu, such as Kashima / Katori Shin / to Ryu.

All good wishes for 2011.
