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

To view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.

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.

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.

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.

Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.

Why do we bear arms at the slightest miscommunication? Our relationship with our ego craves always to be right.

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

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