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.
The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.
The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.
To view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.
Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.
Why do we bear arms at the slightest miscommunication? Our relationship with our ego craves always to be right.
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.
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.
