Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.
After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.
There really are no throws in Aikido only the art of leading your partners ki with your ki in a unified direction. Anything other than this opposes harmony and will inevitably be a throw.
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.
Compassion is a powerful word. In it contains all of what is martial and what is art. Yet without the years in its study one may not come to understand its true meaning.
Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.
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)
Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.
To hate or to not hate an enemy! It starts within your mind! Train to see all from the same perspective.
