I have started this article, and look forward to contributions from other wikipedians to help improve it. Womble bee 10:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

You might want to rewrite the "Dominating the assailant" section (I'm leaving in a moment or I'd do it myself). Nage is not the receiver of the technique that is uke (not capitilized, but italisized). The section also reads like a bit of clumsy legal brief. Not sure how to make it better but for starters uke is used too many times (party of the first part, etc.). Not a great help I know but ....Peter Rehse 10:48, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I have tried revising the paragraph but I'm still not 100% happy with it... Womble bee 12:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kanji for "ki"

I'm not trying to start an old fight in a new place, but even if the older kanji for ki (氣) was appropriate on the aikido page (supposedly due to common usage solely in the aikido community and in spite of Japanese gov't reforms regarding official kanji use in Japanese schools and publications), I really don't think it belongs here. How do you feel about changing to the "new" kanji: 気? Bradford44 15:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

P.S. The original discusion may be found here - Talk:Aikido#Pre-war kanji 氣. Bradford44 16:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe the concept of aiki is not limited to Japanese culture alone, and thus the 'old' hanja (^wink^) 氣 is more appropriate. Kbarends 21:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
