Aikido is the spirit of loving protection for all beings.

Never fear another challenger, no matter how large; Never despise another challenger, no matter how small.

Do not look upon this world with fear and loathing. Bravely face whatever the gods offer.

To rid the world of aggression and contention is the purpose of Aikido

If you have not linked yourself to true emptiness, you will never understand the art of peace.

THE TOTALLY AWAKENED warrior can freely utilize all elements contained in heaven and earth. The true warrior learns how to correctly perceive the activity of the universe and how to transform martial techniques into vehicles of purity, goodness, and beauty. A warrior’s mind and body must be permeated with enlightened wisdom and deep calm.

Those who are enlightened never stop forging themselves.
