Hi, all
This my first post, :)
Since I am a Japanese and posting from Japan, please don't be embarrased by my english abilities.
They are several "Key words" in aikido. For example "Kokyuryoku", "Aiki" and since I am a practitioner in Yoshinkan Aikido, I think also "Hiriki".
Does anyone has any clues when these words were introduced to aikido?
I know that there are many discussions about the word "Aiki" recently, I think this would sheld some important lights about the relation between DTR and aikido but I am interested when O-sensei began to use the word "Kokyuryoku" in his career.
Having some experience in DTR, I thought always that this word is somewhat original to O-sensei.
I had always the impression(maybe I am wrong) that Shioda sensei maybe felt some difficulties with this word, as he tried to explain aspects of "Kokyuryoku" in other words, like "chushinryoku(central power)" and so on.
"Hiriki(elbow power)" is also an interesting word, it seems to be used only in yoshinkan inside the aikido world but I've read that also Sagawa Yukiyoshi sensei from the DTR also used this word.
I coudn't find any determining source in Japanese.
Any comment and insights are welcome.
Sorry if this is discussed already on this forum.
