FIVE PRINCIPLES OF SHINSHIN TOITSU AIKIDO
- Ki is Extending
To be safe and successful in both the dojo and daily life you must learn to allow your Ki to extend naturally.
- Know your partner's mind
In order to take the appropriate action for a given situation, you must understand your partner's intent. Diligent training is required to cultivate this sensitivity.
- Respect your partner's Ki
The martial arts begin and end with courtesy and respect.
- Put yourself in the place of your partner
If you know your partner's mind and respect their Ki, then it is simple and natural for you to be willing to put yourself in their place. Many techniques begin with physically putting yourself in your partner's place.
- Perform or lead with confidence
Without confidence successful performance of any task is difficult.
