I need some advice on this

I loved atmakk’s post regardling the aunsura yoga

situation.

 

My 2 cents: I used to teach Aikido, a Japanese martial

art, in Minneapolis, Chicago,

and New York

for 12 years. After about 5 years of arguing which martial art was the

best I realized there were many ways up the mountain of self defense, enlightenment,

courage, balance, etc…

 

And this is my point: I would tell people if you want quick

self defense skills go to such and such and ju jitsu teacher. If

you are competitive in nature and like punching and kicking go to Tao kwon do

school down the road. If you like grappling and competition go do Judo.

 

The arguments or discussions on which was better was always

based on bias based on experience, prejudice, and ignorance.

 

Like with KY I told people if you are ready, have patience,

and the desire to get past barriers then Aikido maybe for you. It was and

remains a very comprehensive Martial Art. I think that’s why I like

KY – its in your face comprehensive maturation technology. And why many

people split..and many others stay..

 

Oh..and because of this power in us and the KY ability to

move it and develop it scares a lot of people. Like Yogi Bhajan

said in his lecture, “The Yoga of Awareness,” “When I

came to America

people said Kudnlini Yoga is DANGEROUS!” (YB replies) “so

is eating bananas.” hehe
