Re: Ellis Amdur's Post on Aikido Journal
Osu Ellis,
Always enjoy your insights and instruction.
Still working with the solo exercises you taught in Florida.
While I have not real content to add to this thread, perhaps there can be something said for the attitude (spiritual training) and the mileage (hours of discipline without looking for a short cut or explanation) that contributes to the development and acquisition of skills.
First we learn the form, then modify the form, then break from the form. Most of us are stuck in the first one (learn the form, technicians). Others want to break from the form without every putting in the mileage to learn the form they are breaking from.
As a passionate hobbyist, that's my story story and plan (stay open and keep training).
Thanks again, and there will be more agains.
