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.
 
The basic principles of Aikido involve
perceiving the energy of a moment,
harmonizing with that in a centered way,
guiding and leading the flow
toward a positive intention.
 
Training in aikido includes
observation and modification of
both physical and psychological
patterns of thought and behavier.
 
In the end every technique is gone
- everything flows -
