The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.
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.
Uke’s part in trying to hold nage with strength within the technique, teaches spiritual & physical flexibility.
As there are opposites such as, positive and negative, yin and yang, war and peace. We should always strive to seek the art of peace.
There really are no throws in Aikido only the art of leading your partners ki with your ki in a unified direction. Anything other than this opposes harmony and will inevitably be a throw.
Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
The true martial artist has a caring spirit that sees all as one.
Why do we bear arms at the slightest miscommunication? Our relationship with our ego craves always to be right.
Have patience while walking the path of Aikido there really is no final destination. Study sincerely in the moment for today is what matters. Tomorrow will come all too soon. Reflect in the journey this is the ultimate goal.
