For the life of me I cannot imagine fitting in to an Aikido™ class and doing the waza again the way it is. From what I keep seeing I would have to hold back, foreshorten extensions in any waza and pretty much mess myself up and get all disconnected to "do it." Otherwise I'd be throwing people through walls.
Aw heck Dan... you telling me you can't perform a lie? Or... Ueshiba performing a lie in front of the Emperor's representative was not then...??

Robs query is interesting, in that -HE- can approach it as the big dog in the dojo(s) Maybe its worth examining for the next step. To re-integrate aiki into aikido.
I believe that's the whole point of this thread. IYO, what would be a workable approach to do so? For newbies? For not-so newbies that might as well be newbies since they will have to rework and re-train how to move again?
