You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your inner enlightenment.

The Way of a Warrior is based on humanity, love, and sincerity; the heart of martial valor is true bravery, wisdom, love, and friendship. Emphasis on the physical aspects of warriorship is futile, for the power of the body is always limited.

The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit.

Aikido is not an art to fight with enemies and defeat them. It is a way to lead all human beings to live in harmony with each other as though everyone were one family. The secret of aikido is to make yourself become one with the universe and to go along with its natural movements. One who has attained this secret holds the universe in him/herself and can say, 'I am the universe.'

Aiki 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.

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

Create each day anew.
