Ichi_Geki Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yeah. I dont buy into the mysticism. It may be for some people, but I rather be skillful than mystical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardZ Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I agree. Although I have some altercation of other methods thought to or used in reality based situations and said goes for martial myths, legends, and glorification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toptomcat Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Can you provide some context- perhaps the surrounding three paragraphs or so? Do you have any other instances in the same text of that precise term- "real techniques"? That's often extremely helpful in figuring out difficult terms in texts translated from a foreign language.

Jay Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 As far as I am concerned Ki really is just a mentality All those so called Ki tricks are just based in bio mechanical principles and some bravery. The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his teachings were passed on by mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toptomcat Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 You said this was an except from a book. I assumed the book was by Ueshiba- I suppose I was wrong. Was it presented as a contextless, single-line quote from Ueshiba in the book, or was there more to it? Were there any other direct quotes from Ueshiba that used that same term, 'real techniques'?
