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

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

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

As there are opposites such as, positive and negative, yin and yang, war and peace. We should always strive to seek the art of peace.

To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.

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

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

To train a life time acquiring skills of self-defence only to seek retribution in the destruction of others becomes a wasted journey; a path of self-destruction.
