“…To stop the partner’s ki before they begin to move and then direct their movement is not Aiki. Leaving our partners ki to itself, we take the Stance of Truth; the Posture of Love, the Stance of the Power of the Compassion of Avalokiteshvara,– Absolute Non-resistance.— With this intense training, developing our inherent spirituality, together with a unified body/mind, and coming to know the very origin of the universe, Aiki begins.”
Ueshiba O’Sensei
