A martial artist should always train the mind as well as the body, but not always moving in synchronization.
Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.
To show compassion is one of the highest values. Strive within your martial art to make this your priority.
To win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.
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.
All techniques must blend with your partner. If felt by their physical they will be resisted by their physical.
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 study of being held strong reinforces & teaches Koichi Tohei’s 4 principles of Aikido. Relax completely (Physical) Keep one point (Spiritual) keep weight underside (Physical) Extend ki (Spiritual)
