Cut Once

I use the Sword daily to help others. I cut once... If I have a problem I cut once... If I have something I wish to change I cut once... One problem one cut, then move on. Decide then take action

Practice only has meaning if you do it.

Tohei Sensei HAS GIVEN US ALL THE TOOLS TO SUCCEED. The four basic principles the Ki Sayings, Misogi, ki breathing and ki meditation combined with oneness rhythm exercise and regular Aikido practice are sufficient to make one a better person. The catch is you have to do it and you have to sit every day. Working on the internal arts is the key to good Aikido and being a good person off the mat. The discipline comes from the Martial arts aspects of our training. The other practice is done at home on the zafu or seiza bench. Once you calm your mind and begin to realize your own nature then you can begin to connect to others.
Ki training is awareness and mindfulness training; this requires discipline and consistent practice in order to see positive results.
