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.

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.

Your brain doesn’t always understand what your eyes see. Training is the only option to unlock the many facets to the martial arts.

There really are no throws in Aikido only the art of leading your partners ki with your ki in a unified direction. Anything other than this opposes harmony and will inevitably be a throw.

The study of being held strong reinforces & teaches Koichi Tohei’s 4 principles of Aikido. Relax completely (Physical) Keep one point (Spiritual) keep weight underside (Physical) Extend ki (Spiritual)
