To show compassion is one of the highest values. Strive within your martial art to make this your priority.
A martial artist should always train the mind as well as the body, but not always moving in synchronization.
The use of aggression for the martial artist is to cover up there anger and or fear. This contributes to their miss-understanding to truly know themselves.

The true martial artist has a caring spirit that sees all as one.
In ikkyo the hand on the elbow must travel in the same direction as the hand on the wrist.
A martial artist should not be measured on their ability to hurt or destroy an enemy but how they can change aggression into the art of peace.
To train a life time acquiring skills of self-defence only to seek retribution in the destruction of others becomes a wasted journey; a path of self-destruction.
After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.
