A martial artist should not be measured on their ability to hurt or destroy an enemy but how they can change aggression into the art of peace.
In ikkyo the hand on the elbow must travel in the same direction as the hand on the wrist.
It is not aggression from the martial artist that you should fear! It’s the calm from the lack of aggression you should fear the most.
Be more attracted to the less aggressive side within the martial arts, control without destruction is the key.
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.
Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.
The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.
When performing Nikkyo to the wrist, enter and then apply the pressure to the wrist, don’t apply pressure to the wrist first.
