Why do we study a lifetime of fighting within the martial arts? To seek a peaceful path to enlightenment.
To defeat an enemy with compassion over aggression will take great understanding. Introduce this as a part of your life’s philosophy.
If you study the martial arts with aggression and malice this will eventually bring you to view the world from a fearful place.
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.
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.
It takes greater courage to lead by truth than to lead with fear and deception.
All techniques must blend with your partner. If felt by their physical they will be resisted by their physical.
To show compassion is one of the highest values. Strive within your martial art to make this your priority.
Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.
