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.
Look for a Sensei that can inspire you to search beyond technique. The longer you study the martial arts, clearer will be your understanding within the applied techniques.
The study of one’s posture within Aikido is as much spiritual as it is physical.
To view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.
Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.
With shomen uchi ikkyo don’t meet at the top – the person may perceive this as you defending and change the attack.
When performing Nikkyo to the wrist, enter and then apply the pressure to the wrist, don’t apply pressure to the wrist first.
We are all of this earth, do not fight or lay greed. The earth is plentiful if we can all learn to share it.
Have patience while walking the path of Aikido there really is no final destination. Study sincerely in the moment for today is what matters. Tomorrow will come all too soon. Reflect in the journey this is the ultimate goal.
