Compassion is a powerful word. In it contains all of what is martial and what is art. Yet without the years in its study one may not come to understand its true meaning.

Do not view martial arts as mere self-defence! You could miss out on so much more they offer.
A martial artist should always train the mind as well as the body, but not always moving in synchronization.
To show compassion is one of the highest values. Strive within your martial art to make this your priority.
Have patience while walking the path of Aikido there really is no final destination. Study sincerely in the moment for today is what matters. Tomorrow will come all too soon. Reflect in the journey this is the ultimate goal.
It is not aggression from the martial artist that you should fear! It’s the calm from the lack of aggression you should fear the most.
Don’t be attracted only to powerful techniques within a martial art you do see, but more in the peaceful path of what you don’t see.
Be more attracted to the less aggressive side within the martial arts, control without destruction is the key.
Look for a Sensei that can inspire you to search beyond technique. The longer you study the martial arts, clearer will be your understanding within the applied techniques.
