Re: Why did almost all of K.Tohei's students establish independent ryuha?

The guys who went with Tohei when the split occurred sacrificed an immense amount to do so. As Americans we can't really understand what it cost them. So why do you think that they've virtually all ended up on their own, doing their own things? It wasn't disagreement with his Aikido...
From what I read: they respected him a lot as a martial artist, but they all didn't think he really had it together as a leader of a organisation and the organisation was going nowhere... at that point in time. Since K Tohei is now retired, what do you think is the implication of this on modern ki-aikido and its offshoots?
