@shihonage what areyou concerned about really? you are one aperson you have in your power of doing what is right ... regardless of what others have done..
if you think that there is a better choice then that is your answer act on it.
that is what we are here for to keep spirit up and hone the way of harmony not the way of destruction , the creator o fthis world want creation and not destruction
@TheRogueMonk What does humility have to do with fact? There are facts out there. Facts about O Sensei, Koichi Tohei , Gozo Shioda, who all took challengers. O Sensei injured his students, Tohei took on several Judoka and a fat British reporter, Shioda got into barfights to test his Aikido, and his a guy in the head with a bottle.
Reality does not agree with your fantasy. Don't try to pin this on me, because I didn't make any of this up. I have nothing more to say to you.
@TheRogueMonk You don't need to educate me. I seem to have a better grasp on history and origins of Aikido than you do. Once you catch up to its real history, as well as experience a real physical assault, we might speak the same language. Until then, you're the one floating in a land of fantasy and denial of documented fact.
@shihonage altough the roots of aikido lies in aikijujutsu which is a harmonic martial art .. going further back it was in essence jujutsu the art of technique ..
there are hints at openings and strikes in aikido but aikido itself is specializing on the harmonic part of those things.. that is why aikido is aikido because morihei saw a greater harmony in aikijujutsu and eventually channeled it into aikido
@TheRogueMonk Where did I hear this "nonsense"? O Sensei's book, "Budo". Gozo Shioda (his uchi deshi, founder of Yoshinkan style)'s book "Aikido Shugyo".
Various historical sources on Ueshiba's biography. Yoshinkan Aikido technique reference. Finally, common sense. "Using my mind", as you say, I've sparred with people outside Aikido, and I see that Aikido's origins had a lot of strikes to openings, and that martial art can never be "passive" and effective at once.

Do educate yourself.
