"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
." Morihei
Ueshiba
Aikido is a modern Japanese
martial art unique in its
synthesis of classic forms with
a well-defined spiritual base.
It offers a key to the art of
living naturally and
unselfishly in a complicated
world.
It is about :
-
Universal
"Chi" or
"KI"
-
Spherical
Rotation
-
Mastering
Mind
-
Cultivating
Technique
-
Living
with nature
Don't simply look at the
opponent's eyes, because they
will absorb your mind. Don't
just look at the opponent's
sword, because it will take
away your ki. Don't just look
at your opponent, because his
ki will control you. Martial
arts training is the training
of the magnetic power in
yourself to absorb the other as
he is.
