It’s less important how strong others see you. And far more important in the strength you see in yourself.
There are constant messages guiding our paths through life. To hear we must stop our busy lives a moment and listen.
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)
