Why do we study a lifetime of fighting within the martial arts? To seek a peaceful path to enlightenment.

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.

To view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.

Why is there so much energy given to the art of war? The art of peace requires so little!

Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.

The pursuit of powerful aggression within martial arts are the most often sought. This only creates more distance from one another and will never be the answer. Seek the pathless path in your journey and all will become clear in time.

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

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