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.

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

You can own a sword, display a sword or collect to sell swords. But the way of the samurai sword is only revealed to the user.

The use of aggression for the martial artist is to cover up there anger and or fear. This contributes to their miss-understanding to truly know themselves.

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

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

Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.

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

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

Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
