Aikido and "Multiple Attacks"

Aikido is the way that teaches how one can deal with several enemies. Students must train themselves to be alert not just to the front but to all sides and the back.
O'Sensei  ~1935



Many of the things O'Sensei said (or is reported to have said) can have multiple interpretations.
As to the above, "who is the enemy?' Must one also look "up an down" as well as all sides and the back.

Aikido is about awareness...of one's self, one's relationship to another, and relationship to the "many."
