When I told an acquaintance that I was starting Aikido lessons, he asked if I was learning to break planks in half. I said no, but if a plank ever attacked me first I was learning how to defend myself without hurting it. Full text reads “A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within. -Morihei Ueshiba”
