Stanley Pranin explained that the term shite used to
describe the person that is throwing, is actually a pre-war expression used by O-Sensei.
He cited Morihei Ueshiba's book "Budo" (1938). Before the war, Gozo Shioda was a
student under Ueshiba - and this term is still preserved with Yoshinkan Aikido today.
