To understand compassion one must first live compassionately.

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

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”.

The pursuit of powerful aggression within martial arts are the most often sought. This only creates more distance from one another and will never be the answer. Seek the pathless path in your journey and all will become clear in time.

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

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.

As there are opposites such as, positive and negative, yin and yang, war and peace. We should always strive to seek the art of peace.

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