Re: Ueshiba's Aikido?

I think she is referring to the fact that K. Ueshiba was the founder of "Modern Aikido" and that M. Ueshiba's name was essentially co-opted by his son as the patron saint.

These two articles support that their is a difference between pre and post war aikido. This is exactly what Mark's position is on aikido....he focuses on what he believes is Pre-War aikido, thus, "M. Ueshiba's" aikido and not Modern Aikido which is K. Ueshiba's aikido.

Again, not my choice of words to call it Ueshiba aikido...but I get what he means.
