I wish I had the eye of God so I could look at the entirety of human history as one unbroken tapestry and know if anyone, ever, at any place or any time on the planet earth, successfully ended a physical altercation by chopping someone's skull in half.

My problem is why everything is "hidden" or "to be discovered" in forms. It's why I rely on boxing for my empty hand stand up instead of the panantukan that I learn in Escrima.

Rock Ape already pooh-poohed him years back:

At what point will you come to the realisation that you're wasting your time or that what you've eventually create through your experiments no longer represents aikido ?

It seems you're intent on making a round peg fit into a square hole.
