Re: Dan, Mike, and Aikido

Not to add fuel to the fire or anything, but while checking my facts I came across this little gem from Akazawa -- "O-Sensei never taught exactly how to become strong or things such as that. This was not because he was worried that the students were trying to become stronger than him, however. There is simply no way around it, if you want to be strong you have to single-mindedly push yourself into that state known as muga no kyochi, that is, the realm of no-self."
Very "if we become blond, we will rule the world."
