Uke’s part in trying to hold nage with strength within the technique, teaches spiritual & physical flexibility.
To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
All techniques must blend with your partner. If felt by their physical they will be resisted by their physical.
Your brain doesn’t always understand what your eyes see. Training is the only option to unlock the many facets to the martial arts.
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 hate is to know love. Strive to love over hate, if we are all to survive.
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.
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.
