Its been a long time since I left my homeland, and these heated Stammtisch debates make me almost feel nostalgic.
But sorry, Carsten dear friend, these days I prefer to step aside and let you charge ahead full steam. You win, I lose, and we are both happy. Bask in your glory. I guess that is more Aiki, too :-)
Have a good day and enjoy the feeling of superiority.

Oouuuchhh.
Amazing: Won without fighting!
"Heated debate", "with full steam"? When? Who?
You stated the technique I teach as yokomen uchi tenchi nage is not tenchi nage because of "not much tenchi" in it. Is asked questions. You answered none of them.
Not one.
Hope your students get better of.
I explain what I teach. Don't you?
No questions and answers in your dojo?
And: You have an interesting view of Germany.
All together you seem to know a lot about aiki. I already admired that in the shihonage-threat.
But it seems to be a different understanding than what we teach: We use aiki to blend with our partner, for being able to guide him. - And to controll him aswell as oneself.
"You win - I loose" is not what I understand as aiki. Or what I learned or teach as being aiki.
Being gentle, being humble seems more the way of aiki to me.
