To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.

Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.

To understand compassion one must first live compassionately.

Everyone seeks some form of appreciation. Strive to offer appreciation whenever possible and you will create a peaceful wake wherever you go.

To seek the path of ego within the martial arts will seed jealousy and corruption.

The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.

Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.

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.
