Why do we study a lifetime of fighting within the martial arts? To seek a peaceful path to enlightenment.
Learning to receive holds like nikkyo, sankyo, kotegashi etc. Is the study of extending ki out of an arm that is constantly flexible.
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.
All techniques must blend with your partner. If felt by their physical they will be resisted by their physical.
Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.
Respect should always be offered to the opponent first. Often this can lead an attitude of dis-harmony into a peaceful resolution.
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.
Do not view martial arts as mere self-defence! You could miss out on so much more they offer.
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.
Be more attracted to the less aggressive side within the martial arts, control without destruction is the key.
