My Interests

Aikido. You prefer to use little strength to defeat your opponent. You use your Ki to cause your opponent to topple over themselves. Your opponent's momentum from a punch or grab is used against them. You don't hurt anyone, your opponents hurt themselves.http://groups.myspace.com/Aikido http://groups.myspace.com/myspacemartialarts http://groups.myspace.com/martialartslifetest

I'd like to meet:

....A meeting of the Spirits

Heroes:

Morihei Ueshiba - "The secret of Aikido is not in how to move your feet, it is how you move your mind. I'm not teaching you Martial techniques, I'm teaching you nonviolence."Everyone is a hero!

Perfect Clarity

 The center of a spinning appears to be completely still. That kind of stillness, rather than the rapid motion of the top, is where we should focus. It is the secret of perfect clarity can be per...

We are attracted to power for its own sake.

Something in each of our lives brings us to the mat for the first time. Yet I sometimes wonder, what persuades us to keep training? To begin aikido is not a glorious experience. For the first three mo...
