"Can You Experience the True Essence of The Amazing Art of Aikido?"

What is the essence of Aikido, and how are You going to reach your goal of developing advanced Aikido skills?

Well, its not going to be easy. Of course anything worth achieving takes focused effort and full commitment.

To get to the true essence of Aikido you will have to spend years practising the basic techniques of the art.

It depends on how much time you are willing to spend on your training. If it's a couple of classes a week, it will take many years. But, if you have the time and are willing to practise several times a week or even every day, then you will reach your goal much faster.

You will have to find a fully qualified Aikido instructor to teach you the basic techniques in a Dojo setting. You'll need to work on these basics, thousands of times to move on to the advanced level.

Of course, you can help the process along physically and mentally at home going slowly through each detail.

After some time your instructor will teach you a variety of different ways of practising the basic techniques. This will gradually develop your ability to practise and move in a more spontaneous way. Gradually you are moving closer and closer to advanced Aikido and the essence of Aikido.

Meanwhile, during your dojo training, you will, of course have been making a serious study of Aikido ukemi, which is the art of receiving techniques. This will help you develop the skill to be physically and mentally relaxed, flexible and not resist the techniques. You will learn how to fall safely, even if you are thrown hard, or taken by surprise.

During your advanced Aikido training, and heading towards the essence of Aikido, you will be working on several different ways of experiencing the art. This will introduce you to the study of Aiki principles.

Gradually you will begin to know what the main points of the techniques are, and the underlying principles that run through every technique.

If you have reached this far in your training program... congratulations. Many students get bogged down in the physical techniques, and attempt to be superior to others.

This is where ego takes over and can bring up the never ending argument over which instructor is teaching the correct way. Some students become too rough, and bully their training partners, but they can't take it, when they receive the same treatment back.

Some instructors, without realising it, end up coaching and hardly ever training. They cannot allow their students to get near to their own level, so focus more on trivial details than real development. Of course, you are not part of this group of Aikidoka, who have been tangled up with ego.

So now as you move towards the essence of Aikido, you notice the principles that run through every technique. There are dozens of important principles that the techniques are teaching you. In fact many of them you know, but have not consciously singled out.

A relaxed mind and body, your mind focused on your centre of gravity, the flexibility to go with the flow, mental and physical circles, non-resistance, weight shifting, weight moving, avoid direct conflict, 360 degree awareness of your environment, the list goes on...

Once you have reached this level of advanced Aikido, you will now be using the art, in the dojo and daily life. There is so much good work you can do to benefit your family, friends, members of your community, and the world.

To enhance this advanced Aikido level you should be getting well into breathing, meditation and contemplation practise. This will develop in you a love for all beings, and a desire to help others in any way you can. As you go out into the world more focused on helping others than helping yourself, you will experience more relaxation, peace and happiness.

Your hard training comes together within yourself, and you experience harmony and balance in the moment - right now. Having achieved personal realisation, you can take your Aiki life skills and give them out to all living creatures on the planet... this is the essence of Aikido.

Master Morihei Ueshiba - the founder of Aikido, had a very high goal. The essence of Aikido as health, happiness and World Peace!

So, you may be thinking, this is going to take a little while. Well, yes a lifetime in fact... but what a fantastic journey! You can aim high and achieve your dreams, desires, and life goals.

Of course, if you just want your physical techniques to be slightly better than average, you should be able to achieve this in about 5 years!
