Aikido is the principle of non-resistance. Because it is non-resistant, it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. Aikido is invincible because it contends with nothing.

The key to good technique is to keep your hands, feet, and hips straight and centered. If you are centered, you can move freely.

Aikido is the Way and Principle of harmonizing Heaven, Earth and Man.

Your spirit is the true shield.

Create each day anew by clothing yourself with heaven and earth, bathing yourself with wisdom and love, and placing yourself in the heart of Mother Nature.

Cleanse your body and soul, removing malice, selfishness and desire.

Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.
