True

"Today's Aikido is so dimensionless. It's hollow, empty on the inside. People try to reach the highest levels without even paying their dues. That's why it seems so much like a dance these days. You have to master the very basics solidly, with your body, and then proceed to develop to the higher levels...
Now we see nothing but copying or imitation without any grasp of the real thing..."

Shioda Gozo

Today we remember the founder of Yoshinkan Aikido, Shioda Gozo soke, in the anniversary of his death.
