Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.

The true martial artist has a caring spirit that sees all as one.

Why do we study a lifetime of fighting within the martial arts? To seek a peaceful path to enlightenment.

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

It takes greater courage to lead by truth than to lead with fear and deception.

Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.

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

To hate is to know love. Strive to love over hate, if we are all to survive.

A martial artist should not be measured on their ability to hurt or destroy an enemy but how they can change aggression into the art of peace.
