I can't believe I've been doing aikido for 6 years and found this channel i can relate so much

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Glad to hear this! Well, the channel is out only for a bit more than 1 year now, so you didn't miss so much :) But there is actually a lot more material coming soon!

Great interview. I loved hearing his thoughts, especially the last 6 minutes or so about conflict. It really helped me enunciate some ideas I've had kicking around in my head for a while. Thank you for taking the time to share that with us. Onegai Shimasu

I agree, there were some really great thoughts. Glad to know you liked the video

[@JoslynEloise]

Absolutely amazing interview. If we aren't developing internally, then what are we doing?

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Glad to know you enjoyed it! Truly, internal development is an utmost importance

[@troyt6864]

Sparks from the brain to the mouth.
Post Modernisation of Aikido is his direction for his Aikido.
The Aikido that is practiced was broken down into a linear kata/
“exercises” to enable Aikido practitioners to recognise and practice it’s form.
Inovation, back into spirals, spheres and circles, which we find is and in the essence of life and nature itself is a far better direction to go rather than Post Modernisation of the species, which seems to equate with the intellectualisation and digitalisation of humanity infused with Zbigniew Brzezinski - Between Two Ages. The Singularity.
I don’t believe he returned it back to it’s natural form before converting it to a Post Modernisation of Aikido and I don’t see a one centre working with two people in his traditional Aikido practice. He had a long way to go before the conversion to a Post Modernisation of Aikido.
Therefore He has taken it in a different direction, after going only half way, which is good for him and his students.
I hear, only the result of convention. He has been/it has been educated/propagandised in from the year dot and is the destruction of human, inventivness, innovation, creativity and so on.
This is not an ego attack, be nasty to someone about something I am not familiar with. It is an intuitive rebellion to the self indulgence that I see personally.
An interesting interview.
Thanks for the up-load.

Couldn't we just simply this by saying that irimi is the masculine principle and tenkan the feminine?
