@matthewexpert we are all here to realize the role of being supporting in teh world not destructive..
its very simple but why we get to it so hardly .. but as humasn we are imperssed by both agression and peace but the fact is that is easier to get shsallow results by using agression and it takes longer using peace..
but in some ironic and strange way peace is easier and faster .. i dont know how it all turns this way ..if you are kind you may not get things right there but you feel lighter
@TheRogueMonk i'm agreeing with you... o'sensei progressed from hard to soft
this means he got better the softer his aikido became.
this means (logically) that softer aikido is better than hard aikido
its also well known that the internal (soft) martial arts win over the hard martial arts in competitions even when the internal martial artist is much older and weaker...
@TheRogueMonk in cultures otuside of religion and it has influced even religion even they have recognized the fact that goes ,like this and i make up this right now bu tthe meanign is the same "dont brag because what you have you have been given" meaning it cuold have had been to someone else.. also that you should be thankful because its a gift its not your achievement alone
again this is confusing to people and yes it is not easy to grasp .. but to have mercy on others requires some reflection
@TheRogueMonk let me just say that the person who boasts and brags about his power and ability to beat up other people contains nothing but luck and genetics..in my view peopel were not made to fight and if someone is way stronger then eomeone else its because of preposition..
contest in truth is not or maybe even never fair you will always find element of luck and predisposition.
In aikido we strive for things that have nothing to do with luck and we try to make people not need a predispostion
@TheRogueMonk surely there are many people who can hurt someone they just need good genes and strong bones tructure and a mind that has no mercy on otehr peoples lives .. and yo u have yourself a killing machine.. but that is not aikido is it?
@matthewexpert i think that it is like this for all martial arts the higher they com ein mastery the more soft and delicate they become because they know so much..
it is a misconception that a master should do violent actions just because he can but rael masters realize this that its not the strongest way.. it just seems impressive on television .. sure you could impress people by hurting them but where is the mastery in that?
@TheRogueMonk my opinion is that the better aikido is the one that uses less muscle and blends more with the attacker... logically, if you look at o' sensei's aikido it went from harder to softer and from good to better while doing this... it didnt go from soft to harder to harder to harder... so from this we can say that the better aikido is the softer, more gentle, more flowing, simpler, less steps, less contact aikido that o'sensei was displaying at the end of his life... this video is good.
@ketsan i have a site where i collect aikido techniques i choose only people who seem to have some good principals
one of the guys who have a great collection of videos himself and he is a master is stennud stefan.
he is swedish and writen some books i think and has a site , he has not made himself teh head of his aikido but aikido the head of his aikido.. search him on youtube he has effective approach.
what is the name of the video/dvd? i'd like to buy it...
