Aikido Chiba Sensei talking about the 3 W's (When, Where, and What) of a martial encounter

[TheJeffrey999]

what about 'why'?



[kingofaikido]

the Fourth W is the most important for the art. 'Why'. Love is not about taking the advantage, defeating an opponent. Kata training is not competitive, or about the comparison of strength for this reason. Love is equality, love is justice, it needs no justification; but it is the source of justice and justification themselves. To justify aikido is not the right way. Justified aikido is like Musashi's art of killing. This is a mistake based on asymmetry. Look inside the heart, no enemy exists
