“The movements of aikido are in perfect accord with the movements of the spirit. If one talks about spiritual matters or throwing his opponent without harming him— after having struck and kicked him—it’s not convincing. In aikido, we strengthen the body and mind through soft movements which are in harmony with nature.”

Kisshomaru Ueshiba

"Peace originates with the flow of things - its heart is like the movement of the wind and waves. The Way is like the veins that circulate blood through our bodies, following the natural flow of the life force. If you are seperated in the slightest from that divine essence, you are far off the path."

Morihei Ueshiba - O Sensei

"When practicing Aikido kata, the most important thing is not the achievement of small, immediate goals like making the technique effective against your partner or throwing them strongly; rather, it is about learning how to use your body, the relation between you and your partner, and your inner state. Namely, it is about learning everything you can about the way your heart, technique, and physique should be...."

Endo Seishiro Sensei

"True victory does not come from defeating an enemy, true victory comes from giving love and changing an enemies heart"

Morihei Ueshiba - O Sensei

"As soon as you concern yourself with the "good" and "bad" of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you."

Morihei Ueshiba - O Sensei

"The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow...Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter."

Morihei Ueshiba - O Sensei

"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."

Morihei Ueshiba - O Sensei

"The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent."

Mahatma Gandhi

"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world -- that is the myth of the atomic age -- as in being able to remake ourselves."

Mahatma Gandhi

"Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be inseparable part of our very being."

Mahatma Gandhi
