Being able to make that choice necessarily
involves the ability to resort to force to end a conflict,
if the situation does not allow a non-violent resolution.
In other words, employing the minimum amount of force and
imposing the minimum amount of damage possible.
Aikido technique includes pins, throws and
also occasional strikes - all of which rely essentially on
one's ability to lead, blend, control and finally neutralize
the attack out of an immovable center.
Shoshin Aikido Dojo is linked to Aikikai
Hombu Dojo, Tokyo, Japan through Aikido Schools of Ueshiba
(ASU) under Mitsugi Saotome Shihan, who was a longtime student
of O-Sensei. |
