I agree, Kevin. Have you seen his website?
Take that into consideration with this coment he made:
Quote:
...I don't have to have permission from any punk to teach Judo, Jiu-jitsu, or Pentjak Silat. If I learn something, and I want to teach it, then have at it. This is the beauty of a free market. The U.S. Constitution is all the permission I need. I say this, because I know all to well about how some of these oriental socialists think. You don't need permission to teach martial arts.

If he can take the "mysticism" out of aiki and come up with his own thing, then all he's got is bunch of aiki-like techniques (omote-waza). But he ain't got aiki (ura-waza) and never will - certainly not with that attitude.
