Text Quotes
Aikido is the spirit of loving protection for all beings (Aikido Quotes)
Aikido is Love (Aikido Quotes)
Today’s aikido is so dimensionless. It’s hollow, empty on the inside. People try to reach the highest levels without even paying their dues. That’s why it seems so much like a dance these days. You have to master the very basics solidly, with your body, and then proceed to develop to the higher levels... Now we see nothing but copying or imitation without any grasp of the real thing (Aikido Quotes)
When new pages are sent to editors and see rejection, we should ask for the reasons. We must study the reasons for failure and learn. It’s not about struggle with our limitations or with public or the publishers. It’s more about treating it like in aikido; the strength of the attack is used to defeat him with the same effort (Aikido Quotes)
Nonresistance is one of the principles of aikido. Because there is no resistance, you have won before even starting. People whose minds are evil or who enjoy fighting are defeated without a fight (Aikido Quotes)
In 1993, I retired from the Art Ensemble of Chicago to devote myself full time to Buddhist studies and to the practice of Aikido. (Aikido Quotes)
Aikido is not merely about fighting and the development of the physical self but the perfection of the spiritual man at the same time. It has very harmonious movements, very beautiful to watch and beautiful for your body to feel. (Aikido Quotes)
To reach an understanding of Aikido as love, you have to be shinken [completely focused; as if wielding a real sword]. You need to commit yourself, body and soul. Without a wholehearted focus, you won;t be able to effectively love yourself or someone else. You can’t half-heartedly achieve a true love. It has to be shinken. It must be real. (Aikido Quotes)
We need to remember that the primary goal of Aikido is harmony and good relations between people. If we don’t cultivate a harmonious heart along with technical skill, there will be a lack of integration in our practice, which will show up in behavior off the mat. (Aikido Quotes)
