Founder of Aikido
"The Art of Peace that I practice has room for each of the world's eight million gods, and I cooperate with them all. The God of Peace is very great and enjoins all that is divine and enlightened in every land."
“The divine is not something high above us. It is in heaven, it is in earth, it is inside us.”
"To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace."
Aikido:
A martial art which allows you to defeat your enemy without hurting him. Unless of course his does not know how to ukemi in which case he has his wrist broken in about 20 places.
The way of blending energy The Aikidoka (one who practices Aikido) attempts to become one with the mat by being thrown into it repeatedly in the hope that s/he will merge with the mat. This usually doesn't happen, so the process must be repeated. Frequently
The art of hitting people with planets.
Sensei:
god, generilissomo, pope the third, just consider them a sadistic little sod in a skirt who you're paying to hurt you and you better listen to the little darlings or be in a whole world of pain
"Beware the man in the dress, for it is he who will lead you to nikkyo"
