John Stevens at the Aikido Celebration 2011 banquet in Honolulu, Hawaii
The other day (February 27th 2012) I posted a blog here entitled "Morihei Ueshiba, Budo and Kamae". In that article I cited a quotation of the John Stevens translation of Budo, "Budo: Teachings of the Founder of Aikido".
John Stevens has asked that I post a response from here, which I will do, along with my own response.
