Look for a Sensei that can inspire you to search beyond technique. The longer you study the martial arts, clearer will be your understanding within the applied techniques.
It is not aggression from the martial artist that you should fear! It’s the calm from the lack of aggression you should fear the most.
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.
Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.
Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.
Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.
To hate is to know love. Strive to love over hate, if we are all to survive.
Without some form of understanding of “ki”, the brain will always interpret technique from a physical perspective.
