Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.
It takes greater courage to lead by truth than to lead with fear and deception.
Learning to receive holds like nikkyo, sankyo, kotegashi etc. Is the study of extending ki out of an arm that is constantly flexible.
Have patience while walking the path of Aikido there really is no final destination. Study sincerely in the moment for today is what matters. Tomorrow will come all too soon. Reflect in the journey this is the ultimate goal.
Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.
To hate is to know love. Strive to love over hate, if we are all to survive.
To win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.
Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.
