After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.

The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.

It’s less important how strong others see you. And far more important in the strength you see in yourself.

The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.

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

To win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.

There are constant messages guiding our paths through life. To hear we must stop our busy lives a moment and listen.

Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.
