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

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

To defeat an enemy with compassion over aggression will take great understanding. Introduce this as a part of your life’s philosophy.

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

To win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.

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

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

The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.

There are constant messages guiding our paths through life. To hear we must stop our busy lives a moment and listen.

Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.
