The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit.
Morihei UeshibaAiki is not a technique to fight with or defeat an enemy. It is the way to reconcile the world and make human beings one family.
Morihei UeshibaINSTRUCTORS CAN impart a fraction of the teaching. It is through your own devoted practice that the mysteries of the Art of Peace are brought to life.
Morihei UeshibaPRACTICE OF THE Art of Peace is an act of faith, a belief in the ultimate power of nonviolence. It is faith in the power of purification and faith in the power of life itself. It is not a type of rigid discipline or empty asceticism. It is a path that follows natural principles, principles, that must be applied to daily living. The Art of Peace should be practiced from the time you rise to greet the morning to the time you retire at night.
