"Aïkido is certainly not the only
way to develop in life,
but if you are in search of a way,
Aïkido undeniably is one.

Its aspect of non-competition
constantly reminds us the reasons
for our actions and their motivations.
Whether good or bad, their roots
deep within us are fixing us
and can paralyze us.
Aïkido, the martial art of
movement, impels us from
outside but also from the inside.
It helps us to perceive who
we are and polishes our spirit.

Aïkido is not a means to change
others, be it good or bad,
but a means to change ourselves.
Each person needs to find his time:
the time of his own develoment."
