To win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.
To win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.
Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.
Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
A martial artist should always train the mind as well as the body, but not always moving in synchronization.
The study of one’s posture within Aikido is as much spiritual as it is physical.
To hate is to know love. Strive to love over hate, if we are all to survive.
Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.
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.
