Hodgepodge
In Aikido, there is only one position: hanmi, and there is nothing other than hanmi as a position. Hanmi precedes and follows movement.
Principles
Kill him!
To win in Aikido is not to win over the other, it's to win over the spirit of combat within oneself, to “cut off the attachment to life and death”.
Bad trip
Every Aikido movement is a rotation in which tori is the center. Tori must therefore take the center of the movement and occupy it until it ends.
It’s not me
Who does the Aikido movement? I don't. I don't know who does it, but I know it's not me.
Kawaii Aikido
Aikido has become kawaii, cute. It is not legitimate to keep the name Aikido, because it is not the art developed by the founder Morihei Ueshiba.
Make love, not war !
Aikido techniques are designed to break, to destroy, and they're frighteningly effective at it.
