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

To understand compassion one must first live compassionately.

The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.

Respect should always be offered to the opponent first. Often this can lead an attitude of dis-harmony into a peaceful resolution.

You can own a sword, display a sword or collect to sell swords. But the way of the samurai sword is only revealed to the user.

To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.

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.

To live only in today or the past leaves no room for tomorrow.

Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.
