Within the martial arts, while competition in the form of sport exists, the art of Budo, a way of love may never be truly understood.
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.
To hate or to not hate an enemy! It starts within your mind! Train to see all from the same perspective.
To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
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.
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.
The true martial artist has a caring spirit that sees all as one.
