"The Tipping Point" by: Sensei Freeman

"Pipopipette " is the original name of a game we all played as children, created by a French man name d  Édouard Lucas . Some people call it the Dots and Boxes game, some call it Connecting the Dots. The objective of the game is to connect four dots to create a box, at which point one signs their initials into the box to claim it. At the end of the game, whoever has the most boxes wins. Remember that? If we imagine this flat piece of paper as a 3-D dot matrix for a moment, we can make an entire room - an entire world - as a matrix of single points, connected by space and time. When dealing with Aikido techniques, one must always try to understand the most efficient route to dealing with the matrix of the world, and even deeper than this, human architectural alignment within the world, and the individual alignment of the human himself. This is the most efficient way of taking the balance of our uke, continuously studying it so that you become the most efficient expression
