Learning to be soft when intimidated is the key to progress. If the ego will not yield to the attackers physical aggression a conflict of the physical to co-exist takes place. This restricts the true concepts of Aikido to be realised.
To defeat an enemy with compassion over aggression will take great understanding. Introduce this as a part of your life’s philosophy.
Be more attracted to the less aggressive side within the martial arts, control without destruction is the key.
The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.
It’s less important how strong others see you. And far more important in the strength you see in yourself.
There are constant messages guiding our paths through life. To hear we must stop our busy lives a moment and listen.
Don’t be attracted only to powerful techniques within a martial art you do see, but more in the peaceful path of what you don’t see.
To view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.
