  • Those attackers don't even looks like intended to hurt him!

  • @tollpatsch1986 around 90???? he has 129 and hes dead ¬¬ he died at 86

  • it almost same like tai chi

  • 9gag!!

  • Comment removed

  • They are all fucking idiots. Look at 2:10__2:17. I would kick all of them's asses. Bull shit.

  • it looks like the students are jumping and falling voluntarily

  • Hahaha, i actually searched this on wikipedia, didn't even expected to find 9gaggers here lol

  • 9gag rules!!

  • I bet i could kick his ass..

  • @xgoremageddonx hes around 90. of course you could. but you could not beat any of his students.

  • @tollpatsch1986 What if I was one of his students? Hmmm...

  • Thumbs up if you want 9Gag to be your history teacher!

  • 9gag.com/gag/2281238

  • Not a single fuck given.

  • this is so 9 gag

  • Then thing you have to remember is, these videos are him, and his students who respect him. They do exaggerate how easy it is to floor some-one in these types of videos.

    I'd recommend you to watch him go against JF Kennedy's body guard, very funny video.

  • @PureZOOKS Link video or it didnt happen.

  • 9gag.com this looks like a fast spreading virus....

  • 9gag :P

  • 9gag!

    

  • 9GAG brought me here

  • he must have a legion of ninjas to help him

  • Hey people! You are now on 9gag!

    9gag.com/gag/2281238

  • Try to do this without learn only watched this video.

    I'm dead.

  • This guy is a fucking Jedi.

  • yyyyyyyea, I don't know why but I feel like people are throwing themselves. I do understand the idea behind the technique, its by using the opponent's own momentum to put them down, but it just feels like they're not really trying to hurt the man, they're just diving into their own fall.. What would he do if someone pure muscle (k1 fighter for example) would just appply lightning fast kicks and punches, at, obviously, bone breaking power? I just can't see how an old man would cope with that

  • Teach me master.

  • well, shit. i thought id be the only one who would do a research from 9gag, but yeah..

  • @lecik1990

    You're not the only one!

    watch this :-)

    9gag.com/gag/2281238

  • The thing about aikido is that is uses balance and pressure points like for instance the joint in the wrist, so when he twists someones wrist in a certain direction and the guy goes flying, it is so that instead of getting his wrist broken he gets to roll away from the 'danger'. Yes this is acted out but not fake. If he were doing this to someone other than his students he wouldn't use so little force and their arms would break or he would strike at their necks causing trauma to the arteries

  • le me come here after reads this in 9gag 

  • @huruhararey

    true story, bro

    so i made this picture :-)

    9gag.com/gag/2281238

  • Human ,don't be stupid he's an old man imagine how he was like when he was young.

  • 9gag brought me here, but it's fun to see so much hate in the comments; fake, bullshit? People this is training, it's not a real fight so of course it looks fake, what they do is practise the moves, the positions and the stability needed to do this in real circumstances. If you don't understand even that then *nothing to do here*.

  • 0:19 watch their hands... lol and i thought this was real XD

  • what the fuck did i just watch?

  • Load of shite haha

  • LMAO, bullshit.

  • @MKidYup So you the first pwned guy huh ?

  • @bosneanu1 This is just acting....You can clearly see them getting enough speed in order to jump foward....

  • this is bullshit

  • Are you serious? This looks pretty fake to me.

  • HAHAHAAAA WHAT A FREAKIN LOADA BULLSHIT

  • lol laughing at some comment like UFC this UFC that etc

  • i google every post that i don't know on 9gag...

  • 9gag all the way

  • i thought i'm d only 9gagger... lol, thx 9gag

  • This is real dudes! Do not think like americans!

  • This is fake and GAY

  • @DonnieDisasters So is your mama, btw, I like her videos.

  •  badass grandpa

  • Comment removed

  • am i the only one who thinks this is completely fake?

  • @brkdilek this are explicative and acted for an old documentary, but the techniches are real, you can find younger, and real videos of this, and you will find exactly those movements, but in real combat

  • @brkdilek Yes this is real , i'm training ki-aikido my self..

  • @brkdilek its fake on a demo match, dont meet his students on the streets

  • @brkdilek this is not a fight to the death dude. this is DEMONSTRATION. hes just showing the moves and all. but the way he can move is still impressive.

  • @brkdilek How could you think this is fake, haven't you seen Kill Bill? Don't mess with Asian guys with beards....

  • i bet this shit is real as fuck, but still it looks fake

  • Who want's to be the guy that points to the elephant in the room? Not too many. Maybe in an ideal world a truth feather could be brushed over people tickling them lightly with lovely truth dust, but even then some may find this hard on the inner sensitivities. How else to convey that the New Age leaders are nutty eugenicists and have plastered layers of New Agery all over the place? They are....not...eugenicists.... Half a plum is unfair, there are many with more, one hopes they succeed.

  • aikido - amazing martial art, based on asking opponent to take you by your hand, so you can gently throw him on the floor. Now seriosly, how somebody could think this guy is better than yoda...

  • @alchemikful Dude that made my day, it's exactly what I wanted to write :DD

  • i bet you can't even stand up from the chair your sitting ahahahahah

  • 9gag!!!

  • Aikidoka need to realise that people like Foster Gamble are so sure that people joining the (modern) Aikido cult will become New Age Religion bliss ninnies overnight, that he has hand picked them for his project. Whether he is proven right or not will remain to be seen.

  • Eventually the full 'truth' about the New Age (which people like Foster Gamble, and other snakes Aikidoka may feel loyal towards know fully well about) will come out. I do not even expect Aikidoka to operate on a full set of plums overnight (sorry for the metaphor to those who are female, or who like plums), they may even (like DennisTheDanes 'folowing') feel I am a meanie or a baddie, even if what I say is empirically verifiable, or comes from a place of extending a guiding hand.

  • nage wage chung chong...tup, tup, tup...tup...tup, tup...hig iwigi wage chong....tup...tup...tup, tup...

  • One thing one can be sure about those in New Age cults, is they mostly have no proverbial 'plums'. Now if people wake up a bit (which they are) they will have to grow a set. It is probable that most will operate on half a plum for a while, because there are still things about the New Age they do not want to accept (because of loyalties, inability to 'see' and so on). Spiritual blindness can only last so long.

  • brace ur self 9gag army is invading

  • Seriously ... 9gag should reign the world.

  • 9 gag for a better world

  • this is shit and fake

  • hmm i'd like to see him do this in a real fight, i'm not suspecting he couldn't do it i just want to see how some punk mugglers get beat by this old man :P

  • 9gag army

  • 2:16 - epic fake! XD

  • Thumbs up if 9gag brought you here

  • that nigga can kill u easily

  • I learn things on 9gag everyday.

  • @TheBlackKatana shit, me too xD

  • @TheBlackKatana fuck. you beat me to the punch. :|

  • Many New Agers are due a large dose of Yanagi Ryuken moments including many Japanese posers, decent martial artists don't fear this because they haven't built up the backlog of conceit and false claims and even if they fail it is something of a learning. Meanwhile, how long the posers can keep the game up, make excuses and be sequestered from a larger reality is to be seen. Note, this is not a thing of machismo, but of integrity.

  • A person can call their Aikido and the states it invokes whatever they want 'Special Place Aikido', 'King of the Castle Aikido', 'Two plums and a courgette Aikido'; whilst words are not totally useless (a Jedi and those full of ignorant New Age tripe can be called on their nonsense on words alone) as people correctly point out, those who claim great things should not be afraid to 'step up', just don't be surprised if they have a Yanagi Ryuken day.

  • What I have said below is not an excuse for Jedi's to bandy around terms like 'bad chi' (a New Age catch phrase for those not having a love and harmony day thus must be neutered/blackballed from the cult. In other words people who might have the effect of 'The worst day of this poor mans life' video on their delusional worldview). Saying this, for teh 'purified' chi's the New Age is like a scene from Jurassic Park at 'spiritual perception' levels. Ueshiba's advice to honour the Kami unheard.

  • MOVE BITCH!!!!!

  • @7VEMESIS lol 9gag send me here too

  • This guy can make Chuck Norris looks like a pussy if they're fighting.

  • To deconstruct how the Jedi errs (yes I am not being a relativist) would take a long time but what the 'the power of center' amounts to in the Ki practitioners mind is very much like 'The Power of Now' of MA; too simple, ultimately working against truth. I understand why observing In Yo in self, mind and world seems pedantic (lets get to that bloody universal one harmony already!), but it was Ueshiba's way. The Kami driven out by the Oni of the New Age are booming from the mountain top.

  • When the Ki Jedi talks 'Center' they are often talking about a physical state of calmness (not dead ki mind you) achieved though following four rules, ki breathing etc as well as a psychological state of nirvana, oneness, plus ki. The words used don't matter so much as the subtext; the Ki Jedi knows that special place and you don't. Now, I think IMA people can play that game too, but I think it is harder, the methods are fairly transparent, but you have to put a bit of elbow grease in.

  • @theblacksashman I'm a Jedi. No, really check my channel.

  • this is fake.

  • @X3zi i think so. this was just a demostration. if anyone of those kid tried to fight him for real he would be defeated. he was surely a great master, but his age surely influenced his strenght. (sorry for any mistakes)

  • LHP is the wrong term, theosophic cult is more accurate.

  • People may say this is airy fairy knowledge, but anyone who has an actual energetic awakening becomes quite aware that the entire natural world can serve you in your journey. It also helps to see how 'the dark side' tries to hinder these things. Old traditions such as Shinto (which is 'organised' in many cases) operate on these principles. The core of all theosophy cults is (disguised) worship of negative entities, usually lead from behind the scenes at central org.

  • Fragrant materials such as green tea, incense, flowers, oils please 'good' etheric presences dispell the 'bad'. The natural world often vibrationally matches the human one, simple examples the skin of many fruits is good for human skin (peach-beauty, banana-bruising), roots and stems can aid circulation, bright flowers can open higher consciousness. Even things which just 'look' like part of a human body can have a vibrational match.

  • When people talk about 'spiritual hygiene' i.e ideas like netilat yadayim which come from a more 'organised' philosophy, they refer to the possibility of the etheric body picking up bad flotsam and jetsam. This happens even if you are not in a left hand path systems such as (modern) Aikido which actively promotes this. The important thing is to grasp holographic concepts, i.e crystalline materials/salts are transformers/absorbers of energy.

  • Finally, the New Age seems to have convinced people that polite, gentlemanly, meek love harmony fluffies (with a almost psychotically passive aggressive undercurrent) is the modus for humanity. That so many of these special signs and symbols 'gentlemen' we revere are utterly depraved is the hidden ticket to control. I don't really care if a MA'ist has a heart of gold, is quirky, blunt (there are many great no nonsense mystics) but one that pursues truth over New Agery is worthy of respect.

  • Fwiw, I know that Ki Jedi training has a close enough (v. basic) lexicon that they could share ideas with IMA people, but that is not what the (highly misused) Ki methods were designed for. Think knocked off Rolex in a market, these things MUST have working parts, outer design to ping our truth-dar, but when the test of functionality comes-kersplat! In a Gladwellian 'blink' sense, you should get to know the difference. That Ki Jedi/IMA CAN communicate is good, thats all I will say.

  • There are those in the Aikido cult working against this. The snake values its 'purified' (demoniacally charged) groups very highly and has planned far ahead. The Proctor Gamble cult is a good example (great apples falling from the Aikido tree again) of how the snake will now pluck its hidden one love harmony eugenicists out of the woodwork for a big showdown, It should serve as a cautionary tale to humanity. The best thing you can do as New Agers is show you will not be part of this sick scheme.

  • Whether you are artist, scholar, warrior, scientist, priest as archetype or profession, the problem is when 'superconsious' knowledge is perverted/disallowed by snakish obsessive compulsives, thus we see nutty New Agers thinking they operate from a higher mind, in fact following the snake agenda more than most, Again, love harmony fluff without substance is agenda 101. New Age martial artists are pansies and phonies anyway, especially emotionally, buying into cult fantasy over truth every time.

  • 1:42. you see that ? that's aikido and how it's used in a sword fight.

  • the genius is extreme here.

  • It is not that love and harmony and oneness is wrong (Jing>Chi>Shen, 'the rising of the Christ' or whatever metaphor used for the gradual 'awakening' of the mind/body is not new) but that any proclivity Ueshiba had for peacenik thinking was groomed and pushed for an agenda by depraved criminals is a fact of that little gremlin known as 'history'. Now, the 'old' methods and gods are coming back angrier than ever, 'this is not my......', they are talking especially to the Ki Jedi.

  • If Ki Jedi's feel victimised and misunderstood because everyone around them is not 'spiritual' and loving enough I understand (although this is more than a tad presumptive), maybe such a person would benefit from Bhakti rather than martial methods to confront both conceit and to draw them closer to Ueshibas spirituality (tending to the kamidana is a valid practice).

  • I would like to reiterate that the Ki Jedi, does NOT operate from this mind rather from the dogma of a New Age system. Its not that I am jumping on a bandwagon because I would like to say that Ki Jedi methods (Ki breathing, four rules, ki visualisations, ki testing) are a distant but useful sister of 'real' IMA teachings, but it is simply not true. 'Disinfo' is a much touted phrase, but when the sub group claiming internal 'power' are the fluffies you know some kind of joke is on you.

  • Every mystic tradition lauds the ineffable oneness of the singularity and even modern scientists make claims that such concepts are the creative source of everything. Thus we can conclude that rather that rather than a black, vague mush of nothingness, thought, energy, quanta have a vibrant and alive 'source' of imaginable capacity. Study the designs of nature to see this. If free energy tech exists it comes from this mind, not the mush of a New Age toroid or vague nothingness of Ki hippydom.

  • When we talk knowledge, we may of course refer to the knowledge that a quiz master has (which some may say is perfunctory, others the spice of life), then there is the knowledge of a professor may have (which others still would say is perfunctory and 'learned' but which may still be useful). Then there is the knowledge which mystics and Ki Jedis claim to have which comes from the singularity of Zen or the end of a spliff or whatever method they claim.

  • This characters hubris, in utter disregard for the level of New Age Err they may commit is the only thing 'divine' about them. The common New Age spiel that Zen is the cessation of knowledge, thought, personal karma, history and so on would explain the vacated nature of New Age drones. Would such a faux mystic rather look at the actual nature of knowledge, information and knowing (without subtext being, of course, that such things are obtainable by themselves alone)

  • The first heads to roll if Ueshiba was to see the modern New Age mess in front of him would be the 'love and harmony' Jedis. Such people are like Leslie Nielson's character in 'Airplane' recapitulating intermittently and assuredly the phrase 'Good luck, we're all counting on you' regardless of the the actual situational developments. In other words they are 'repeaters', literally programmed to regurgitate love and harmony spiel where actual thought may otherwise prevail.

  • he just need sunglasses to seem to master Roshi

  • In many ways, I am being judgemental because the New Age was meant to make you think this way, neatly guiding you into conscious evolution in a New humanity, no need for a magic torus to see that. Something tells me Ueshiba himself would whip up his own salvo of eugenics on many of the current pseudo Budoka of the NA.

  • People who recite New Age Platitudes, 'The Power of Now' generation, don't understand that the 'Now' exists in an infinitely complex substrate of all that has been and all that will be. It is every multi verse, yet can be as simple as breath. But lets not fixate too much on the beauty of words, Ueshiba said himself his work was not complete at death, yet how much of the vile New Age that has spawned around him would believe themselves infallible.

  • People who want to feel 'special' through identification with a martial art (how sad to be honest) are just playing the 'we are so elevated above the gentile' game and really lack their own personal or spiritual identity, which is a much sounder way of going about things. People who want to annihilate the spice of life of culture and history commit the crime of being bores above all else and egotists at worst who will drink from the fountain, but never drop a coin in.

  • If Ueshiba was to return here to complete his cycles of samsara across the planes of existence, you think he would be handing out awards to the bunnies, the ignominious posers, the zeig heil to the image of the Maitreya types? No, he would be planting the foot of the phoenix up the derrière of every Judas and fraud starting with his sons outwards. You think he wouldn't expose, as I have done, the New Age, or bring about a fuller understanding of historical and methodological aspects to Aikido?

  • The purpose of this is to shed some light on the hidden New Age aspects of this martial art. Like any good New Ager, Aikidoka will act like cultists until they are shown up in public, when they will feel (correctly) some embarrassment (shows you their metal somewhat). What do you think Ueshiba (who was far from perfect) would say about the modern day 'boiled egg dropped in a hakama' type Aikidoka. You want some nice platitudes? recite 'think one point' mindlessly to yourself.

  • I took Aikido in college. It's not hypnotism lol

  • aikido is a martial art, it has little relevance in today's culture of mma physicality and brawling, to compare street fighting (who beats who) with aikido demonstrations I think is foolish; aikido's core idea can be applied to many things in life, including fights, but of course in a "real" fight no one is going to grab you by the wrist... 

  • @IsDucasse in aikido the only belt that you use escapes from wrist grabs is the white one,in the others you learn to use the tecnique escape from attacks

    sorry if my english's not perfect,i'm still learning it

  • @WadaEric2011 bullshit, sir.It only depends on the school, the sensei and the student himself.

  • LOL funny, you people have no understanding of aikido, ive trained in aikido and it is very real, the more the attacker aggresses ueshiba the more their ki is turned against them, it has to do with manipulating the flow of momentum ...... simple ..

  • B O O L - - - S H I T ....... !!!

  • hahahaha.. fake shit.. go watch UFC and MMA...ufc fighter over this old fucker

  • this is all set up way too well. I don't see how this would work in an actual fight under pressure. The attackers are all so relaxed and they let their limbs fly through the air. In real life, people tense up their bodies in weird ways. This looks more like a beautiful dance.

    I do respect the philosophical and spiritual aspects to Aikido, but I'm having a hard time seeing it being truly useful in real combat. Maybe just observing the enemy's Ki etc

  • @porlino87 its not set up, my neighbour met a master of aikido and he ( the master) asked my neighbour to attack him. my nighbour is a good fighter, he made lots of fight arts. so he attacked him but 20 centimetres in front of him he just fell down, and he told me that he felt like in a hangover.

    I`m from switzerland and still learning english, so I`m sorry if I made any mistakes :)

  • @porlino87 if you did not relax while attacking the defender on practice like this. i'm telling you my friend only 1 technique you cannot stand again.

  • どう見ても起倒流・柳生流柔術、宝蔵院流槍術の影響は見られない­。

    どこからどう見ても大東流合気柔術だがね。

  • who wanna mess with this old guy

    

  • 植芝師範の経歴解説に大東流が語られてないね

  • Uke syndrome's been around a long time.

  • @theblacksashman What are you writing all of this for? What's your intention with this?

  • @DennisTheDane I agree with your comment. "theblacksashman" dont get me wrong. Im not here to provoke or anything. Im just courious because I train Aikido and Im wondering what you are trying to say with all this.

  • @DennisTheDane You are a plonker aren't you? You receive a thumbs up for saying absolutely nothing. Much of what I am saying comes from correct research and effort, unlike your throw away comment. Pretty unsurprising that desperate cultists have swooped like pack animals to your defence.

  • @DennisTheDane join 9gag

  • @DennisTheDane You are right maybe I am wasting my time writing these comments, noone in the Aikido world reads them, sob;(

  • Real aikido! :D

    Unfalsed and pure!

  • *Left brained and/or hindbrained not right brained.

  • These 'hostings' can also create religious experience, depression etc etc but often you have little personal spiritual life. This is why I say Modern Aikido (tm), the centralised, 'big corp' stuff which looks like mass, mecca and the exhumation of L. Ron rolled in to one infront of Maitreya Ueshiba, the teachyourkidsAikipcspeak and mairteyainthemiddleeast, must be decentralized so real learning of 'Aiki' be handed back to the people (who have much more talent anyway and actually care).

  • New Age Groups, and I have seen so many of them, mostly have some form of ritual, oath etc and it is NOT theory that the purpose of this is to 'synch' your energy body with lower so called 'reptilian' streams of consciousness, simply you are prepared to be a 'host' for something you dont want to be. The symptoms of this? Increased servility, hive mindedness, lower sense of humour, calculating right brained personality, shollowness with religious obsessiveness, compulsions, lowered conscience etc

  • Now the 'esoteric' part, I have never been to a Captain Kirk convention although according to ;The worst fight scene ever' on Youtube, he may have known who the real 'enemy' is. Now to regain some air of seriousness, you may wonder why someone would bother making all these control systems and how they work. Many people find esoteric or sci fi stuff far fetched, but with 'awakening' of higher energies you find it hard to dismiss these things.

  • These institutions, not just according to those engulfed in a cloud of green smoke and the melifluous modulations of Bob Marley, are the underpinnings of modern society and certainly these shitty New Reigious groups.

  • Why people feel so chagrined about 'Babylon' is its propensity to take anything which may be good, or at least a heartfelt expression of 'spirituality' and turn it into a form of manipulation. Note, Mystery Babylon does not refer to 'mysticism' which is neutral but black mysticism or 'Brotherhood of the Snake'/tower of Babel/various abominations against god type institutions which existed in the city state.

  • Ueshiba, like many mystics or just anyone who doesn't rely on sonambulent thinking and blind following may have had a passion for his subject (internal power) and he may have had a certain vision or message spiritual or otherwise. The issue is that modern Aikido is what would be called simply 'Babylon' in Iyaric/Livalect (to appease certain New Agers).

  • The problem with such 'the essence of Budo is peace....' thinking is not that it is wrong but, like most New Agers, you rely on guesswork and sloppy thinking, a spiritual ennui infuses everything you do. Because so many New Agers just recite words on cosmic playback, explaining 'spiritual' concepts to them is almost impossible. They already 'know' all there is to know. You can almost hear the mental cogs turning when a 'spiritual' or IP concept arises, then the guessswork begins.

  • It is the beauty martial art.

  • *Nuremburg

  • Overall we can say with confidence that these Ki hippies and New Agers lower the standard of martial arts and humanity in general, like a black hole sucking the weak and gullible into thier poisonous, purfunctory teachings (all the while taking themselves very seriously). Obstreperous vocalising of catchphrases is just one expression of this delusion. Being told you are a special flower child of the New World/Mystery Babylon doesnt help ones ability for humility or learning sadly.

  • Of course there is some small truth to these vagaries. Ting Jin (Listening) Focused mind/yi, mindfulness of body emotions, thoughts, energy. Exessiveheat/anxiety/anger etc will literally effect the nervous/energetic system and ability for song/relaxation and connectivity. Yet you will find people with 30/40 years of practicing buzzwords still requiring 'feedback' (usually inaccurate) from thier teacher. If you train IT properly you should have a degree of self responsibility for this.

  • An example of this 'buzzword'' driven New Age would be the kind of 'Ki hippie' bio feedback type exercises you see to develop a 'correct feeling' for erm..power. Usually the teacher will offer advice such as relax half half half, send your negatviity to one point, and usually this will become an opportunity to vociferate whatever Glastonbury Zen thoughts they have; 'relinquish the need to control','let it happen', 'be the flow' there are no limit to these buzzwords incidentally.

  • *Try not to fight your martial brothers and sisters (is that not the real 'brotherhood' rather than these ridiculous peace loveki frauds) or spin stories about how one day you will bounce every mofo from here to Chinatown around (it won't happen). There are things to learn from the sports paradigm and vice versa. Hopefully this is common sense.

  • Anyway, there are some strong IT people and generally good people in these groups, as well as many damaged goods. I know the New Age party line is that the only enemy is within and the rest is flowers and bumblebees, but if there is indeed an enemy in the 'external world' hiding in the Shadows (there is) it would be preferable that if things start getting weird (which they very well may), you are a little bit more effective than a Ramen noodle in martial capability.

  • I quick note on the etheric 'sheath'. A Shaman (the old style) can spend weeks or months repairing damage to this (and those who do a lot of 'truth telling' have to put up with so called 'psychic attacks' to this body which is nice). This is one area where visualisation can be useful to bring back our natural sense of self containment (I dont mean defensiveness or paranoia).

  • Concepts such has heaven, man, earth and in/yo in thier physical and philosophical aspects can reveal volumes over time and you can study them at your own pace even in your own time. Remember there are many 'Asian' medical/herbal/acupuncture etc texts which deal with damage from bad 'energy' practices, and this is even in cases where the New Age isn't involved. The old ways of balance are the safe way, and their beauty far more subtle.

  • The New Age hates the real 'old' practices, and look how well it has eradicated them and replaced them with the quick fire buzzword opiation we see today. It hates them because they are empowering; a mind/body that is balanced can not be swayed by charismatic leaders chanelling who knows what like the regretful events at Neurenburg and so on. They are not forceful or full of fire and brimstone, they are like the quiet dignity of a tree, nurturing life.

  • This is why say New Agers have no esoteric compass. It is an error to think that New Age practices are completely BS. Some of these agressive 'kundalini' style yogas, virulently excessive breathing practices, and many other forceful practices can massively overload the nadis and destroy the natural etheric 'boundery'/sheath that are good for a healthy mind/ body. This is not without design, because an energy body like this can be posessed/controlled/is susceptable to suggestion etc.

  • The thing to be mindful of is that that the Christian tumult that 'Mystery Babylon' (aka deist worship of 'lower' vibrational energies), has taken over the show, is quite correct (yes, they have little insight into thier own predicament). Somewhere along the line 'love thy neigbour' became 'be an insufferable bigot', deep native practices became dancing around letting who knows what woo woo into your psyche etc etc. It would be foolish to think that this doctering and overwriting is accidental.

  • *Zhuan jin=turning/drilling power (getting rusty on these names) Luoxuan Jin=spiral power (as well as other names).

  • Note I am also not critisizing the good souls of any country (one mans cup o cha is another mans O Cha and that is all good), but lets face it Capitol Hill doesn't have that 'land of the Pharoahs' vibe for no reason. Remember (as a child) back to before you were told what you were in these terms, before you 'knew' Ergaster and heidlebergenisis were your forbears (I know many in MA may look like it) or that Ueshiba was Messiah, Is there not creativity and vitality (a form of power) in this?

  • I feel I should point out the horribly erroneous thinking of the Ki Hippie with regards to IP. I am aware that many of 'Ki excersises' look (very vaguely) at say the relationship between tension and relaxation (you will find far superior in RMA and even calisthenics), but the idea of drawing energy/power out of your MA is, again, silly at best and dangerous at worst. The 'ghostly' skills of IP come through power, even surging, palpable power, and are refined from there.

  • Returing to In Yo/'Parity' of which there are so many examples which pertain to IP (left and right hemispheres of brain, Bai Hui/Hui Yin, Ren Mai/Du Mai etc) there are also more 'lateral' forms of parity such as the endocrine system to the Dantian/Chakra system and blood/nervous and 'connective' tissue system to the meridian system. I mention this because there are people who get reasonable IP results without believing in an energetic system at all.

  • A quick note on In Yo/'Parity' of which there are so many examples which pertain to IP (left and right hemispheres of brain, Bai Hui, Hui Yin Ren Mai, Du Mai etc etc), There are many more 'lateral' forms of pairity such as endocrine system to dantian/chakra system and blood/nervous/ 'connective' tissue system to meridian system. I mention this because there are people who get reasonable IP results without even believeing in an energetic system.

  • Its like the Library of Alexandria (an Elitist institute with a 'let them eat cake' attitude to most that paid thier dues), people who join New Age groups or get hazed in a forest or swear oaths to reach the inner circle of Hogwarts are by and large percieved as losers (for good reason). You can ignore the cautionary tales of Goethe and take these routes, but you will end up eating a lot of cake, or worse.

  • You wouldnt be surprised if soon they projected a full on laser show on the Kabbah of all the gurus people are supposed to worship in the loving one world (dont worry Ueshiba will have his corner of the cube). If you don't know what I am talking about, fret not, put your hand on your heart and begin 'oh, say can you see, by the dawn's...'. But perhaps stay in that trailer as you do it, the world will be a safer place.
