Question for Rubber Ducky

[bah]

When you said:

Iwama style is the style practiced by Saito Sensei at Iwama - the shrine set up at O Sensei's home - in Japan. Supposedly a more Aiki-Budo style of Aikido. Small, tight circles and hard throws etc. A more "hard" style of Aikido from an early stage of Aikido's development.

What is meant by small, tight circles?

Thanks

More generally, does anyone know of a fairly complete list of the various aikido styles?

Go to: http://www.ki-aikido.com/astyles.htm
They have a list and short description of the "Old School" (meaning pre-war style), and "New School." The "New School" is broken down into three sections, the Traditional Schools, the Ki Schools, and the Sporting Styles.

It's all about connection.

Interesting--thanks! I know of one style not represented there: Roy Suenaka's Suenaka-ha Tetsugaku-ho Aikido..
