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.
To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.
Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.
It takes greater courage to lead by truth than to lead with fear and deception.
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.
