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.
Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.
While performing the shomen uchi Ikkyo technique you must enter in first then raise your arms, not raise your arms then enter in.
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.
Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.
The pursuit of powerful aggression within martial arts are the most often sought. This only creates more distance from one another and will never be the answer. Seek the pathless path in your journey and all will become clear in time.
As there are opposites such as, positive and negative, yin and yang, war and peace. We should always strive to seek the art of peace.
To show compassion is one of the highest values. Strive within your martial art to make this your priority.
