Methodology battle aiki goal is to quickly resolve. Another attacker coming. The base is the determination KIME, persuasive and quick.

In this pretend for beginner training in Aikido today’s modern, it is possible to miss a very important part of the overall technique. And much more essence Aikido self, which is the movement of nature and the universe, combination, creative together for survival soon. When this process is distributed without understanding, blindness passed intergenerational hidden in plain sight. Aikido practical essence they “lost,” but secretly stored in the dance of ignorance, waiting for someone with an eye to see, observe and revive it.

The process of forging techniques to learn to grow in the next six months or so of serious training. If not, is the practical value of Aikido is lost and therefore all true spiritual attainment may have. By analogy no praise architect-builder that the building collapsed as a result of sloppy practices. He is considered impractical and spiritual. Kihon, engineering basic core is an important stepping stone for the flow of spontaneous handy. You can not write freely and effectively if you do not have an understanding of the basics. This applies to all skills in all areas. Soden or Kihon, core technique is ABC and Do-Re-Mi. Do not be fooled by it. Wafer bias can only be acceptable if it can be backed up by stepping on a mat with a real fighter and prove the statement by putting your money where your mouth is. Then even talking about Tengu understood and lights in the sky will listen most attentively.

In a relatively safe society could all too easy to say, “I did this” martial art called Aikido, but do not attack me for the real you, because it does not work as a useful tool for me to practice defensive struggle. for “spiritual” reasons. ‘

To be kind, then this is the best cake. Even much worse than that. What is the definition of “spiritual?” Feeling good? A hot bath, a cup of coffee or scratch an itch “feel good”, but they are ‘spiritual’ or rather a peculiar way of life stuck in denial Facing Facts? (Do not scratch, shower and coffee, a good attitude was misguided.) Is a satisfactory definition for the existence of the word “spiritual”, or is it something we just use it as a cover for ambiguity?

In all cases the skills and service to others, achieved a standard of excellence and responsibility are present. Aikido is no exception.
Recitation sentence poorly understood, not “spirituality”. You can cite religious writings and murder in the name of war god idea. It’s already happening. It is not “spiritual”, but cannibals. Are trapped in a paranoid fear of mental illness imagine a game that the only way to do things. Do you exercise or as an enactment of the killer, the race remains deep sickness of the soul, the manifestation of spiritual evolution is broken and incomplete, we are obliged to heal, if the species we headed to the next level. Otherwise we will become extinct, and the mixing of metaphors we just will not cut it. Do we get a meaningful discovered by a “god.”

Now is the paradox. Why to settle quickly? It was not that I contradict myself here? Not at all. Prolonged quarrel, both verbally, as in a sick relationship, or the use of a deadly weapon in the relations between nations of the sick, the festering sore that will not heal. Boiling oppressed souls that turned into gangrene of the relationship finally exploded in the wearer.

As the founder of Aikido is more clear, “Our mission is to promote a dynamic peace, protecting, feeding and caring for all life.”

On this basis, any real attack well maintained. This should be achieved quickly, with early identification and clear, accuracy, fairness, caring and loving as possible, and yet so cruel as needed. Ends. Battle, defense is not a “sport”, but the illness. It should not be treated lightly, but harmony was restored quickly and convincingly. If we do not have these skills, both individually and as human beings, is to show a good time that we have a way to get it, no reason to find. After that, as usual, restoration and preservation of the integrity of all stakeholders is essential.
Until the time comes that we are ready to handle the play all the more harder than it is now, we do not dare to call themselves either “man” or “spiritual.” Because we do criminal activities from a distance as a coward by technology, or by proxy send others where they do not belong, we prove that we are no different from the tribe of cannibals. We need to work. There are lots and lots of work to catch up with the growth of our own lost understanding of and ability to function expressions. Interfering with another person or allow interference is never a good result. Interference is the nature of evil and all that good jurisprudence is based on the principle of restricting it as the legal basis for the right. Do we feel comfortable with this fact or not is irrelevant.

Universe is not going to be an atom to change our will. We’re always going to adapt or disappear like the dinosaurs.

When aikijutsu of Aikido? When the paradigm of conservation and restoration of harmony is so fully entrenched that violence is very difficult, if not impossible, to start, knowing the outcome, it is also undesirable. It is not possible under the paradigm retaliatory protracted, long-term and skilled and reprisals against them generally never end until everyone involved is dead, so any setback has come from the more urgent.

True economic harmony in which everyone wins, except for those who choose to be a loser to launch attacks and violations. In this case, when the karmic energies that one rebound on the attacker as a result of both centralized and skilled integrity of the protector. This is not achieved by fall (even in the name of “protection”) or “defend” in the usual sense (mostly stupid and more violent), but with the economic exploitation of the energy of an active attack to restore harmony.
Yes, this is a rare skill, but only rarely, because it is currently not as common as the dominant paradigm of choice. And this may be because it requires face the pain to change real skills, often attractive proposition to develop mentally lazy and complacent. But this can be changed. Over time, willy-nilly, must be studied, refined and applied at all levels of human infrastructure if we as a species are fixed. At Aikido paradigm manifests itself in a large scale, we are going to pass and thus began the path of a true gentleman.

Until then we will continue to struggle with ourselves, with others, with the imaginary, the real and the universe itself, because all the gifts of the challenge will be seen as an attack of the difficulties and unable to take advantage as the source. Attitudes like sinking ships.

The attitude of Aikido is to learn to act decisively and constructively navigate though the storm and change, not only on a good day. And deal with real aggression and often unexpected, not by increasing or driving, but in a way that restores and heals.
The world can be a better, more secure, but it will not come either as a heavenly dispensation imposed on us from the “top”, or under the auspices of a number of self-inflicted “ism” or another. Rather, it depends on each of us to make a personal choice to get up a big part of our own possibilities still asleep.

Meanwhile, the ideal can best be pursued with real skills and hone response optimal decisions for each day. This can be achieved with practice and in meeting real life as we know it as the highest meditation.

Therefore, also in the achievement of Aikido “ideal”, it will not only help mimicry. First, as some people say, we have a “hard style” act for “soft style” may affect, not vice versa. In other words, what is likely to be most effective in real situations. In addition, we can take the secret teachings of Aikido which can cause a more sophisticated level of both practice and understanding.
