Talk:Aikido styles

message: Other than Iwama Style, this page tends to lump all styles associated with the Aikikai into one group.  What about Nishio style and the so called "Shingu" style which have some very distinct characteristics such as stance, iai/bojutsu practice or sword forms nearly identical to Yagyu style, completely different strategies for entering (in the case of Nishio style), etc. And perhaps most importantly, students who identify themselves as being part of a unique style of Aikido.  
I can see how not every sensei's unique philosophy can be included (For example, I understand Abe Seiseki taught some things quite differently from how the Aikikai was teaching them), but at the very least I think Nishio style warrants a page/mention.

message: The template for major aikido styles IMHO is more confusing than relevant so I removed it from the article. There also is a discussion about the template in itself on Template talk:Major styles of aikido. // habj 11:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I´ve attended a couple of seminars with him while I was in Quebec.  His Aikido is OK but is his organization independent of the Aikikai.  I am not sure about that.  I think that needs to be clarified.Peter Rehse 09:42, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Frequently, when the term style is used, the term organization would be more accurate. This is definitely the case with Aikikai (Zaidan Hojin Aikikai), which is a foundation linked to the Ueshiba family's Hombu Dojo in Shinjuku, Tokyo - it is not a style, since it refuses to declare exactly how basic techniques should be done, but an organization, mainly governing its system of kyu and dan grades.
The same is true for several other organizations often called styles.
The term style would be more appropriate for aikido traditions following closely the specific teaching of a certain aikido instructor, when such a group clearly distinguishes itself from other aikido. They sometimes have their own organizations, and sometimes not - this can also differ from country to country. Examples of aikido instructors that have become sources of distinguishable styles of aikido are Saito, Nishio, Yamaguchi, Shioda, Tohei, Tomiki, and many others. Stefan Stenudd

thread_title:  Style or organization 

message: Appeal to clear up a source question issue asked on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fumiaki_Shishida that affects other aikido articles, therefore, an appeal for a current JAA member with current insight, who is able to definitively clear up the question of, is the source http://www.aikidojournal.com/encyclopedia.php?entryID=612 listed in the fumiaki shisida article sound ? The question is raised in so much as the source states that shishida is " Currently a member of the Board of Directors and a technical director of the JAPAN AIKIDO ASSOCIATION." And when this statement was used recently in an update of another aikido article, then the update was readily undone and the reason given for its undoing was that it was incorrect information. The question isn't about the undoing of an update as I have no issue with the update being undone, but in the action of the undoing of the update for that reason it raises the question of, if the information is indeed incorrect, then the http://www.aikidojournal.com/encyclopedia.php?entryID=612 source is not a sound source and its inclusion therefore, in the fumiaki shisida article and any other wiki article is questionable. But if the source is sound and the statement is correct, then there can be no objection with it remaining. Chunlinc (talk) 17:20, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
