o sensei morihei ueshiba

Very nice. :)

Take the ki, manipulate it, give it back and control.

(Gruß eines anderen Aikidoka. :-) )

prudiei, thou german you explained it well. yes thou not your intentioned to humiliate, punish or hurt but still they felt the hurt, the punishment and humiliation.

yaso, finalkento, ki is life energy flow in harmony. it does not manipulate, control or go backward. :-}

I believe you are mixing up the Japanese "ki" and the Chinese "Qi".

I also didn't say that the "ki" manipulates, controls or "goes backwards".
The human however can manipulate/control Ki (and Qi, not to mention Reiki). In Aikido it is done by harmonizing with the partner.

Therefore the you build a "friendship" with the partner and he/she can learn what he/she did "wrong".

final ken2, i thought you write this "Take the ki, manipulate it, give it back and control."how can one interpret it? did nt know that it can be controlled.. building friendship is the best things you said.

Hi, i've read aikido - the peaceful martial art from Stefan Stenudd (6 Dan)

Thank you. Stenudd Sensei is terrific.

In fact, the same character is used for Chi or Qi in Qigong
