Hi Phi
I completely disagree. To put it simply what would happen if there really was a truly better way to approach power and control in budo?
A...superior...method.

i don't doubt there are superior methods. my statement was that budo encompass these methods and then beyond. budo is a super set, where aiki is a member. for thousands of years, warriors seek better way all the time. it's the nature of the warrior, to be a better warrior in every way, not just personal prowess. i am sure you heard the chinese phrase that translated into "four ounces move a thousand pounds" http://connect.gonzaga.edu/bormann/m...-with-4-ounces that phrase implied aiki and the foundation of taiji. the asians seek that way for long time. methink, long before Takeda.
