Hi Carl,
I don't think that aikido will corrupt if we train sincerely.

Hello Carina

I'd agree but what is training sincerely? If someone completely changed what the founder was doing, focusing on superior muscle power and a philosophy of "No mercy! Mercy is for the weak!" Would that not be a corruption no matter how sincerely we do it? I think sincerity implies asking the question in this thread. Then, even if you are deviating from what you think the founder was doing, at least you know you are doing so and can understand why.
