A martial artist should always train the mind as well as the body, but not always moving in synchronization.
Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.
There really are no throws in Aikido only the art of leading your partners ki with your ki in a unified direction. Anything other than this opposes harmony and will inevitably be a throw.
Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
The study of one’s posture within Aikido is as much spiritual as it is physical.
If you study the martial arts with aggression and malice this will eventually bring you to view the world from a fearful place.
