Paul Rest with Eddie Frager Sensei

Eddie Frager – A Martial Artist Making a Difference

Paul Rest interviews Eddie Frager Sensei:

“Aikido is, at it's base a physical art, and as a young man the physical side was most important to me.  The physical side of the artis still very important to me - when I teach we do 5 minutes of  warm-ups and 55 minutes of Aikido, with very little talking.  However, just as importantly, Aikido is also about how one moves through the world, how one deals with personal relationships and community."

Perceptions And Deceptions, by by Stanley Pranin

"The emphases of the various groups run the gamut from the physical and self-defense oriented all the way to the “spiritually” inclined styles for whom technique is of secondary importance. Despite these remarkable differences, I have often encountered a common characteristic in the mentality of the practitioners of these diverse persuasions. I will refer to it as the “true believer” syndrome."
