So...some say "fusing;" some say "merging:" I understand it inside myself as simply growth, growing, evolving, continuing what was given to me and allowing it to move into what feels natural without force of style. I love the arts so much and their sacred paths. I love and see/feel/experience Aiki everywhere and in anything. I have even been rolling and training / teaching the class BJJ and still the most fundamental principles of Aikido are guiding us to greater self awareness, greater sensitivity awareness and using all moments as choices with attachments to techniques, or right or wrong. Just flow.
We have been practicing practical with traditional and using it all to continue finding entries, changes in energies and postures to use all our resources of techniques as choices. This one in particular taught me something I didn't fully understand about until we tried to go from kaitennage into and what becomes available space wise as a throw or projection learned in jujutsu...either way hope for those who see clearly and understand what's being put down here and how we work the most basics into more technical skills solely based of what is being presented is what makes this a full circle journey.
