When you
practice Aikido you are part of a community that is far more complex than you
would expect when you start to practice.

I’m curious
how people see the relationship between the constituting bodies in that
environment.
For this purpose I have listed the most important bodies that I can think of at
this moment, and I would like to find out what you think.

You don’t
need to answer all the questions, just the ones where you believe you have an
idea or an opinion.

1. What do you see as the role of Hombu?

2. What do you see as the role of Doshu?

3. What do you see as the role of your Dojo?

4. What do you see as the role of your
instructor?

5. What do you see as the role of
cooperating dojos?

6. What do you see as the role of a
national organization?

7. What do you see as the role of an
international organization?

8. What do you see as your role as
individual practitioner?

9. What do you see as the role of your
national government in regard to Aikido?

10. What do you see as the role of an organization
such as SportAccord or IOC in regard to Aikido?
