So could it be said that in Taijiquan there is a certain amount of aiki techniques? Or does aiki refer only to those particular techniques found in aiki jujutsu/do?

And just for the sake of interest are there any more interpretations? Hengest hinted at it but where u just fronting lol?

"Uuum i know lots about...aiki but..um... lets wait 'til someone more qualified...umm... answers. Yeah "

Could hengest finally not have an answer for something?

6string: I don't have flights of fancy anymore. Or maybe it's that I don't have a grounding in reality anymore? It's kind of like when somebody asked Salvidor Dali if he took drugs and Mr. Dali replied, "I don't need drugs; I am drugs."

Dojutsu: The term 'aiki' literally means "harmonious energy," and as such refers to - as Bamboo said - blending with the opponent. So, could it be said that aiki as such is present in Chinese internal styles like Taijiquan? Perhaps. The internal styles rely in part on using the opponent to defeat the opponent, but the blending issue is slightly different and not necessarily the desired goal/unexpected outcome of traditional chinese internal art training. As for other interpretations, generally speaking another interpretation would be the wrong interpretation as aikijujutsu and aikido have a monopoly on the concept; others can only try to imitate but never replicate.

While Hengest is a fightauthority God, he is nothing like me. Offending him will not result in a longwinded lambasting of your intellectual prowess or sexual proclivities. Offending him will result in being forced to witness the Beer Gut Ninjutsu (how old is that reference, Heng?) as he flies through your bedroom window in the middle of the night.

Wow, that is going back a bit. That reference must be a good couple of years old, because I think it came about when I'd just started ninpo, when myself and von Wankenstein came up with the idea of learning the style so that I could steal people's lager unnoticed.

dojutsu: Yeah, ya got me.

Although I like to think otherwise, I don't have an answer for everything, and, on this occassion, certainly not one better than bamboo's.

Bamboo, I used this on a kid when I was in the second grade. LOL. My dad taught it to me, he learned it in the army. Worked like a charm.

Tease T Tickle----we practice the osoto in self defense as a block strike reap combination. so as "dude" swings you block and step inside. you give him a friendly tap...elbow, throat strike, palm heal to the face....and that sets his weight off balance and then you reap out his leg. now if you struck him to the throat or face you can bury his head as far into the pavement as neccessary.....and you can move on to his friends, if they still feel the need to get beaten down.

Choda Lita, believe me when I tell you that I am well aware of the use of an O Soto Geri as a counter/defensive technique and that it may very well lead to great bodily harm when the thrown reaches concrete. Also, believe me when I tell you, I don't care what your opinion is.

[choda_lita]

sorry for my obvious insubordination. next time i will know better than to question someone who would rather stab me. {bows to sensei}
