People who practise martial arts or sports tend to put too much emphasis on physical training and competition. It is good to train the body, however, training the body does not necessarily make the mind strong. There are good sportsmen who commit crimes and big strong men who cannot
The mind has its principles and the body has its own principles. One can attain a healthy mind and body by understanding these two principles. The mind moves the body, lso one must first learn the principles of the mind and practise them. Naturally one must know the principles of the body so that the training will be for the mind and the body. This is the practise of the unification of mind and body which Shin-Shin Toitsu Aikido is based upon.
We see only a small segment of an iceberg which is above the surface of the water. There is a much bigger part under the water which we cannot see. Similarly most people think that physical power is the only power. They forget the power of the mind which cannot be seen. One's real power is the unification of minid and body.
People say that this is a world where we must struggle each day to be better than others. It is good to be stronger and better than others but this world is not only relative, there is a world above competition. Even if one can win over others, if one cannot win over himself, it is of no use. By cultivating too much competitive spirit, one may collide with others or fight in the family.
In Shin-Shin Toitsu Aikido, we practise how to use our mind and body to win over ourselves, not to win over others. That is the spirit of non-fighting and winning without fighting.
