To hate or to not hate an enemy! It starts within your mind! Train to see all from the same perspective.

The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.

To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.

Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.

To live only in today or the past leaves no room for tomorrow.

Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.

Respect should always be offered to the opponent first. Often this can lead an attitude of dis-harmony into a peaceful resolution.

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.

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