@lordosaya The comment is what I just said. If you want to be philosophical, then what New Age guru Ueshiba called 'takemusu' IP, Bruce Lee's 'formlessness' within 'form', the Zen 'space' within the cup is a valid concept in MA. Of course Aikido is about rules, the flowery cup, the floating hakama, and is the archetypal 'magician' (in the bad sense) using 'misdirection' and plain lies in its hand. Another words it is a rigid system of compliant New Agery, sorry to break it to you.
