In the Aiki-lab practice, attacks are random, unrehearsed and emanate from authentic attack intention. Jim's aikido is spot on until his inner observer steps in and lets intellect try to create aiki. The training process begins again then, slimming the time stuck in internal intellectual loops. Practice partner Jim has never been shown or taught a technique in the traditional way, yet can manifest aiki like any seasoned aikidoka even though he is getting non-collusive ukemi.
