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

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

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

It takes greater courage to lead by truth than to lead with fear and deception.

To win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.

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

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.

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

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 is to know love. Strive to love over hate, if we are all to survive.
