The Principle of Non-Dissension

In the Absolute Universe, there is no conflict. Conflict exists only in the relative world.

If I unify mind and body, become one with the Universe, and practice its principles, others will naturally follow.

The true path to success is one and the same as the principle of non-dissension — that is, the way of peace.

The word "Budo" (martial way) is written with the characters meaning "to stop the spear."

Ki-Aikido is not a martial art that wins by fighting opponents.

It is a martial art that understands the mind of others, guides them, and achieves harmony without conflict.
When we let go of the desire to fight, people naturally synchronise with one another.* Moving together, there is no collision. To lead is to be the one who initiates this way of being.

A psychological fact: Shaking hands, matching the timing of a bow — these are acts of synchronisation that happen naturally within a connected relationship. Also known as attunement or mirroring.

To work with the principles of nature and the universe, the most important question is: "Am I in the right state of being?"

Ki-Aikido begins with learning correct posture. Posture usually refers to the body — but it is the posture of the mind that shapes the posture of the body.

When the mind is calm and stable, the body naturally becomes stable too. This is called "Fudoshin Fudotai" — immovable mind, immovable body.

Developing this unshakeable foundation is the practice of Ki-Aikido.

Only when you can correctly control your own mind and body — in alignment with the principles of the universe — can you begin to guide others.

And "control" here does not mean forcing anything. It simply means trusting the principles of nature and letting go.
Just as you have a mind, so does your partner.

When you practice Ki-Aikido with a self-centred mind, you ignore your partner's feelings, you don't mind causing pain, and you try to throw by force.

As a result, your partner's mind will unconsciously resist — and the technique will not work at all.

The same is true in daily life. You cannot move people with a self-centred mind.
When you respect your partner's mind — their very existence — and guide them with that respect, you can lead them, control them, and even throw them without force or resistance.

For this, your own mind must first be open — free from prejudice, ready to accept and understand others.

When the mind is still and the ego is released, your partner's mind becomes clear to you, as if reflected in a mirror.

And beyond that — what is truly right will also naturally arise in your heart. That is what it means to be human.

When everything is reflected as it truly is, and you genuinely understand and accept your partner's perspective, your partner has no reason to resist.

They synchronise unconsciously. You can guide them — without conflict.
Understanding and guiding others does not mean trying to please everyone or constantly adapting yourself to others.

Trying to please ten people at once is impossible — and earns only the label of "people-pleaser." This is called "the way of conforming to others' energy."

But when anyone lets go of their ego and takes heaven and earth as their standard, they can understand what is truly right.

Viewed from the perspective of heaven and earth, the truth that self and other are one quietly rises within the heart.

To accept the other person's existence as it is. To respect them. All of this becomes natural.

When you first act in alignment with the principles of heaven and earth, your partner is guided by those same principles — and naturally follows you. This is "the way of aligning with the energy of heaven and earth."

Like dancers sharing a stage, beginning together and ending together, perfectly in accord — one continuous flow.

On this great stage of heaven and earth, in the finest and most subtle realm, the infinite and the unconscious are at the heart of all things.

You will find that life in all its dimensions becomes filled with a quiet richness — a daily experience of joy and deep feeling.
The purpose is not to win by fighting others.

It is to truly attain unity of mind and body — to live as a being sustained by heaven and earth.

The techniques of Ki-Aikido are built entirely upon the principles of the universe, beginning with the fundamental truth:

"Mind moves body" — the principle of Ki.

The goal of practice is not merely to understand the techniques, but to go beyond them — to refine and embody through each technique the direct experience of unity with heaven and earth.

This is not intellectual understanding. It is grasped through the subtle workings of sensitivity — feeling the principles of the universe, feeling the
mind of your partner, as lived experience.

The important thing is not to seek strength, but to pursue what is right — in alignment with the principles of heaven and earth.

Ki-Aikido is not only practiced on the mat. It is lived in every moment of daily life — until it becomes habit, until it becomes who you are. This effort is called "keiko" (practice) and "gyo" (discipline).

And when life itself is transformed by this — when you grow as a human being — that is when learning truly has value.
That said, the power that accompanies rightness in Ki-Aikido as a martial art is also overwhelming. Like the rising and setting of the sun — no one can stop it.

"If you seek strength, seek what is right. Live in a way that makes heaven, earth, and nature your allies." That is Ki-Aikido.

Feeling this undeniable force emerge from within you — simply by trusting the principles of the universe — is one of the great joys of practice.

Enjoy the training of techniques. You will feel how natural it is to work with the principles of heaven and earth. You will feel how deeply you are held and protected.

First, you will learn true relaxation. When you master releasing all unnecessary tension, a natural, expansive, beautiful movement emerges — and you develop a supple, healthy body.

From that relaxed, natural state, you gain the focus and positive drive to adapt to any situation and give your full capacity without hesitation.

You also develop composure in critical moments and the inner strength to stay forward-facing even when confronting difficulty.

And further — a humble, open-hearted attitude toward the great workings of nature and life. The willingness to face your own limitations honestly and
continue pursuing what is right.

This attitude of learning in practice naturally refines your character. As a result, relationships — at work and at home — become smoother.

Because Ki-Aikido practice lives in every area of life, life itself continues to transform.

And from the daily accumulation of practice, a genuine confidence grows — confidence in yourself as a being sustained and protected by heaven and eart
h. A solid foundation for living.

This is truly the learning of self-reliance.

All movement in Ki-Aikido is principled and natural — nothing is forced.

Both "throwing" and "receiving" are practiced with the sincere goal of refining unity of mind and body. From children to seniors, men and women alike
— all can train with confidence.

Those who approach the practice with humility — willing to correct themselves in pursuit of what is right — create an environment where everyone can l
earn safely.

We teach what everyone already possesses — what anyone can become, by living in alignment with the principles of the universe.

Guiding people only those with special talent or physical ability can achieve is not our path. What matters most is that everyone can arrive.

We will never lead you to a tightrope or a trapeze. The path we walk — and teach — is the great road of heaven and earth. One that everyone can travel
safely.

Please practice with confidence.
