Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.

To defeat an enemy with compassion over aggression will take great understanding. Introduce this as a part of your life’s philosophy.

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

To understand Aikido’s many layers-consistency is the “ki”

To train a life time acquiring skills of self-defence only to seek retribution in the destruction of others becomes a wasted journey; a path of self-destruction.

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

To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.

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.
