Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.
Everyone seeks some form of appreciation. Strive to offer appreciation whenever possible and you will create a peaceful wake wherever you go.
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 be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.
Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.
Learning to receive holds like nikkyo, sankyo, kotegashi etc. Is the study of extending ki out of an arm that is constantly flexible.
Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.
To hate or to not hate an enemy! It starts within your mind! Train to see all from the same perspective.
Don’t be attracted only to powerful techniques within a martial art you do see, but more in the peaceful path of what you don’t see.
