Morihei Ueshiba encounters?

Enlightnment - easy fumble about in the dark, until you find the wall switch.

Then when you magically turn the switch, amazingly light floods into the lightbulb on the ceiling.

Didnt make Aikido any easier however.

Does anyone else see the humor in this? I mean it is actually pretty funny. Sometimes the truth can be pretty hilarious. Perfect example of one of the aspects of mushin:hat:

 

Mushin, and Shoshin, to be exact...(as to my post above)

 

What a waste of forum space.

If you can see the attack coming before it happens, how did O'Sensei throw you? Why didn't you just get out of the way? Or are you saying that you got thrown because you saw the attack coming. A non-clairvoyant person would have what, been hit?

Which students of Koichi Tohei are clairvoyant? Assuming as you say he has the ability, then how many among his students also possess the ability? Please list real names. If you do not list them, I'm to assume you believe that they are not clairvoyant and thus their claims for such would be false, in your opinion.

And who are you?

IMHO, this was the only useful information from your entire post. Everything else in your post smells of a political agenda.

 

koyo made sure this kind of old bosh did not last long.

 

Ok.

So just how were you thrown?

 

Problem dealt with. Lets not feed the trolls in future people. use the report post function then leave it alone. Don't comment in the thread. That's how trolls derail threads. Thank you for your cooperation. Please continue to enjoy Martial Arts Planet.

 

If you want to buy into all the baggage that has been attached to Aikido then what is the problem? All religions are founded on BS. They're all designed to distract you from the reality of the world.

 

Shut up TROLL

 

Mods,

An ip check of our newest contributor might be in order.

 

Indeed. Please do not feed the trolls people. Thanks.

 

Back on topic guys.

 

Well, by his description, I understand that that guy Koyo, actually worked out with Saito.
Because Saito could do what he describes. He could make people change direction in mid air. That's true. That still makes me the only guy here that actually worked out with osensei.
Once, when we were all drunk in Iwama, Saito asked a guy that was passed out on the mat, to hit him with a yokomen-uchi, so he could demonstrate an irimi-nage. The guy barely moved, but Saito, in effect, sucked the uke up off the mat with his ki, and then completed the throw. Which is something like what that guy Koyo describes. So, I believe at least one of you knows that much.

 

I should have mentioned, now that you have at least one guy that has worked with Saito, and it sounds like you listen to him, you should know that you can take anything that Saito could do, and multiply it by a thousand, maybe 10 thousand, and then you're starting to get to what osensei could do.

 

Were you under the influence

Dear Roadtoad,
If the man was passed out on the mat, and you state that he was sucked up by Saito Sensei's Ki I think you may well have had one too many drinks.It sounds to me that you were hallucinating.I would have thought that
in common with most aikido dojos ,anyone being intoxicated would be prevented from training.Your tale sounds suspect to me.

 

There's been a lot of that here lately Joe.
