Nobody remembers your rank, but they’ll never forget your energy. Aikido is about connection—so train with respect, move with kindness, and leave a lasting impact beyond technique.

Hiroshi Tada Shihan, now 95 years old, gives brief description to inrokyu, go no sen, sen no sen, and sen sen no sen.
In reference to how “Ueshiba Sensei would not give the opponent a chance to attack, but rather initiated the movement by sending forth his own ki…”
“That was known as the ‘cultivation of magnetism’. It involves a keen sense of kokyu that draws the opponent out like a piece of steel being instantly attracted by a magnet. There are three situations: You move first; you and your partner move simultaneously; your partner moves first. The technique is the same for all of these, really, and what is important in the end is the sort of state you maintain inside. If you look only at the outside form-for example, if you view techniques only as a means of self-defense-then you won’t be able to understand their overall meaning. They have to do with ki, not just the simple interaction of two physical bodies. Training is like a mirror reflecting your sensitivity to ki. The clearness of the mirror is the most important issue.”
