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.
In ikkyo the hand on the elbow must travel in the same direction as the hand on the wrist.
Don’t be attracted only to powerful techniques within a martial art you do see, but more in the peaceful path of what you don’t see.
To hate or to not hate an enemy! It starts within your mind! Train to see all from the same perspective.
The pursuit of powerful aggression within martial arts are the most often sought. This only creates more distance from one another and will never be the answer. Seek the pathless path in your journey and all will become clear in time.
The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.
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.
Your brain doesn’t always understand what your eyes see. Training is the only option to unlock the many facets to the martial arts.
Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.
