I totally get what you are saying
I guess it has or at some point someone thought it was a good idea to promote the more flowing and as you say wishy washy
I would say that if you'd ever experienced Chiba sensei or Saito sensei put you on the floor then umm it was not wishy washy lol....
Possibly not. But I also doubt it would be the result of some sort of magic Aiki either.
I have sparred some old judoka. Those guys are made of nails.
The exact opposite of what I see Aikido trying to achieve. And as a side note I am against aiki a bit as I get older. Because aiki in my environment equals scramble. And I just can't out scramble a guy half my age.
