Aikido is divided into several large groups.
Originally it was one of the Aikikai, but since then, I have become independent and have continued to this day.
To list some of the most well-known ones, I think there are four:
Aikikai Public Interest Incorporated
Foundation Aikido Yojinkai
General Incorporated Association Aikido Kai Unification Aikidokai
Manseikan Aikido
I attend a dojo (classroom) that is independent of Manseikan Aikido by Professor Sunatomo Kanhide.
I think it's best for each person to freely aim for Aikido.
However, it's a shame that there are a lot of criticism from different organizations on social media.
Why is there a constant battle of criticism? ? ?
My place is real! Is that a pride?
I have never had training from another organization so I don't know what the difference is.
However, rather than worrying about other places, you should train yourself every day.
In the spirit of Aikido, it is said that "the path of absolute self-completion."
Rather than comparing yourself to others, how much have you grown compared to your past self?
Isn't that important?
Speaking of which, Professor Sunatomo's students once
questioned "I don't know how to do Aikido correctly."
was , apparently,
"Aim for your aikido."
In other words, there is not one correct answer in the world, but the aikido that you have learned through thought and trial and error
is the "correct" Aikido for a person, and the correct answer for that person.
That's why there are as many answers as there are people who play Aikido, such as those who value speed, those who are conscious of power, and those who think about games.
Well, there are obviously some that are suspicious though ^^;
So what kind of aikido do I aim for?
I think about this every day, but I still haven't developed my breathing ability so I guess it's 10 years earlier to talk about it.
If I could say it broadly, I would like to be able to handle a large number of people, like a great teacher.

And it's about finding the good points of others as people and being able to work together on the path to success.
Never fight, but empathize with others.
That is what aiki means to love.
I have a tendency to get mad, but recently I have stopped getting angry anymore.
Focus on the other person and what do you want? How can we both become a win-win?
I want to be that way.
That's why I think breathing power can be said to be the ability to succeed as a person.
After just two years, there's no way you can understand the spirit of Aikido.
That's it, Taiko.
