We are all of this earth, do not fight or lay greed. The earth is plentiful if we can all learn to share it.
Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.
A martial artist should not be measured on their ability to hurt or destroy an enemy but how they can change aggression into the art of peace.
To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
It takes greater courage to lead by truth than to lead with fear and deception.
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.

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.
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.
