"Sokaku couldn't write; when he had to write, he had someone else write it for him. Even judges and magistrates." "When your opponent strikes, you quickly dodge and immediately counterattack to stop them. This can only be done with a strong hand. The secret of Daito-ryu lies in this counterattack."
-Stanley Pranin, Editor-in-Chief of Aiki News
