AIKIDO - Written by Carroll Bryant
Like the stillness of the wind
When suddenly, the thunder comes
Chaos contained and mastered
The quickness is a friend
When reaction is instinctive
Prediction is the enemy within
Reaction is the action
Energy comes from it
Self defense
It's a motion with intelligence
It's intelligence with the hands
It's a light in the dark
When carefully the moment comes
Breathe through the heart
Everything slows down
The movement is a friend
When the body is an art form
And the mind, the eyes, watch from within
Reaction is the action
Energy derives from it
It's motion with intelligence
It's intelligence with the hands
Everything is vivid
Victory comes from it
Victory is not to win
Victory is not to lose
Intelligence with the hands
"Watching your opponent with the eyes of the mind, and patience. Allow their anger to be your focus. Their defeat will be your victory, not the infliction of pain. Victory does not appear from out of violence, but your safety. It is only evil that should be fought, and by its own hands, a strike force."
