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.
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.
We are all of this earth, do not fight or lay greed. The earth is plentiful if we can all learn to share it.
When performing Nikkyo to the wrist, enter and then apply the pressure to the wrist, don’t apply pressure to the wrist first.
To hate is to know love. Strive to love over hate, if we are all to survive.
To defeat an enemy with compassion over aggression will take great understanding. Introduce this as a part of your life’s philosophy.
All techniques must blend with your partner. If felt by their physical they will be resisted by their physical.
Be more attracted to the less aggressive side within the martial arts, control without destruction is the key.
Without some form of understanding of “ki”, the brain will always interpret technique from a physical perspective.
