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.

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

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

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

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.

Training in a martial art has no end, just a beginning.

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.

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

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

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