Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.
To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
Be more attracted to the less aggressive side within the martial arts, control without destruction is the key.
Don’t be attracted only to powerful techniques within a martial art you do see, but more in the peaceful path of what you don’t see.
The study of one’s posture within Aikido is as much spiritual as it is physical.
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.
Compassion is a powerful word. In it contains all of what is martial and what is art. Yet without the years in its study one may not come to understand its true meaning.
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.
