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.

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

To care for others is the real martial art. To not care shows a disregard for yourself and the universe.

To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.

To live only in today or the past leaves no room for tomorrow.

After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.

To hate or to not hate an enemy! It starts within your mind! Train to see all from the same perspective.

To understand Aikido’s many layers-consistency is the “ki”

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