Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.

We are all of this earth, do not fight or lay greed. The earth is plentiful if we can all learn to share it.

To understand compassion one must first live compassionately.

Respect should always be offered to the opponent first. Often this can lead an attitude of dis-harmony into a peaceful resolution.

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

To care for others is the real martial art. To not care shows a disregard for yourself and the universe.

Why do we bear arms at the slightest miscommunication? Our relationship with our ego craves always to be right.

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