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

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

Without some form of understanding of “ki”, the brain will always interpret technique from a physical perspective.

Within the martial arts, while competition in the form of sport exists, the art of Budo, a way of love may never be truly understood.

Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.

The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.

Why do we bear arms at the slightest miscommunication? Our relationship with our ego craves always to be right.

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.
