Re: Principles of Aiki
Dan and Janet-
I certainly agree with Dan's emphasis, and am trying to do this myself, but the problem is finding a teacher who is capable and willing to impart this type of information. In lieu of consistent and constant access to such a teacher, I think it can help to have supplementary written information about training methodologies. Key word is supplementary, though.
Speaking of which, in reading your post Dan I began to wonder, how does one know that there is sufficient built-in structure to begin training with force?
