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

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

Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.

It’s less important how strong others see you. And far more important in the strength you see in yourself.

Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.

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

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

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

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

The true martial artist has a caring spirit that sees all as one.
