Ultimately, you must forget about technique. The further you progress, the fewer teachings there are. The Great Path is really NO PATH.

Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.

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.

To practice Aikido fully you must calm the spirit and go back to the origin.

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

PRACTICE THE Art of Peace sincerely, and evil thoughts and deeds will naturally disappear. The only desire that should remain is the thirst for more and more training in the Way.

Seeing me before him, / The adversary attacks, / But by that time / I am already standing / Safely behind him.
