I would like to learn how the concept of energy fits with our branch of Aikido.  I have heard stories of Aikido experts “sending energy” across the room, even stories of throws being taught by describing the energy flow.   This is not a complaint, I just wanted to under stand it’s significance in our form of Aikido.  It may be as simple as I am far too new to approach it from that perspective, please let me know what you think.
