Without some form of understanding of “ki”, the brain will always interpret technique from a physical perspective.
To show compassion is one of the highest values. Strive within your martial art to make this your priority.
Uke’s part in trying to hold nage with strength within the technique, teaches spiritual & physical flexibility.
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.
Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
Do not view martial arts as mere self-defence! You could miss out on so much more they offer.
To train a life time acquiring skills of self-defence only to seek retribution in the destruction of others becomes a wasted journey; a path of self-destruction.
