Upkido (a practice)

(draft) Improve everything you touch.

What do you get when you cross uplift (or Upward Spiral) with the Japanese martial art of Aikido?

That's the idea behind Upkido, a practice that seeks to improve everything it touches.

Some readers will notice right away that "improve" isn't the most solid word to build a practice on. What I think will be an improvement may not seem like one to you, never mind to other parties affected by the "improvement." So we should be careful here.

The Principles of Design from Trust are very helpful here, as is Jerry's Theory of Change.
