Learning to be soft when intimidated is the key to progress. If the ego will not yield to the attackers physical aggression a conflict of the physical to co-exist takes place. This restricts the true concepts of Aikido to be realised.
We are all of this earth, do not fight or lay greed. The earth is plentiful if we can all learn to share it.
Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.
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.
Without some form of understanding of “ki”, the brain will always interpret technique from a physical perspective.
To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.
If you study the martial arts with aggression and malice this will eventually bring you to view the world from a fearful place.
