Be more attracted to the less aggressive side within the martial arts, control without destruction is the key.
The true martial artist has a caring spirit that sees all as one.
A martial artist should always train the mind as well as the body, but not always moving in synchronization.
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 show compassion is one of the highest values. Strive within your martial art to make this your priority.
The study of one’s posture within Aikido is as much spiritual as it is physical.
