Training in a martial art has no end, just a beginning.
Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.
The true martial artist has a caring spirit that sees all as one.
After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.
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.
You can own a sword, display a sword or collect to sell swords. But the way of the samurai sword is only revealed to the user.
Why is there so much energy given to the art of war? The art of peace requires so little!
As there are opposites such as, positive and negative, yin and yang, war and peace. We should always strive to seek the art of peace.
Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.
