After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.

Why is there so much energy given to the art of war? The art of peace requires so little!

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.

To understand Aikido’s many layers-consistency is the “ki”

Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.

Within the martial arts, while competition in the form of sport exists, the art of Budo, a way of love may never be truly understood.

Without some form of understanding of “ki”, the brain will always interpret technique from a physical perspective.

Everyone seeks some form of appreciation. Strive to offer appreciation whenever possible and you will create a peaceful wake wherever you go.
