44 One of the most powerful martial artists who ever lived, Morihei Ueshiba, wrote:
“The martial arts are not concerned with brute force to knock opponents down, nor with lethal weapons that lead the world into destruction. The true martial arts, without struggling, regulate the ki of the universe, guard the peace of the world, and produce and bring to maturity everything in Nature. Therefore, martial training is not training that has as its primary purpose the defeating of others, but practice of God’s love within ourselves.”
