Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.

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

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

We are all of this earth, do not fight or lay greed. The earth is plentiful if we can all learn to share it.
