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

To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.

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

To seek the path of ego within the martial arts will seed jealousy and corruption.

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

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

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

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

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.
