The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.
The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.
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.
Have patience while walking the path of Aikido there really is no final destination. Study sincerely in the moment for today is what matters. Tomorrow will come all too soon. Reflect in the journey this is the ultimate goal.
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.
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.
Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.
While performing the shomen uchi Ikkyo technique you must enter in first then raise your arms, not raise your arms then enter in.
Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
