Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.
To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
Why do we bear arms at the slightest miscommunication? Our relationship with our ego craves always to be right.
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 are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.
