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 view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.

Don’t be attracted only to powerful techniques within a martial art you do see, but more in the peaceful path of what you don’t see.
The use of aggression for the martial artist is to cover up there anger and or fear. This contributes to their miss-understanding to truly know themselves.
With shomen uchi ikkyo don’t meet at the top – the person may perceive this as you defending and change the attack.
