Ninniku Yoroi ist Ninniku Haramitsu. Eine der Sechs buddhistischen Weisheiten zur Erleuchtung.
“If all you are is uke ( receiver ) for your training life and survive, you have succeeded as a martial artist”
Nagato Sensei
People believe that the only way to prove yourself as a martial artist is to be strong,fast,have fantastic skills and win fights. However, the martial artist is not someone that seeks out violence. If you are able to understand the depth of ukemi and the meaning of ninniku yoroi ( to bear no grudges or desire for revenge ) one can control the space to avoid unnecessary conflict as much as possible.
The ultimate goal of studying Budô is to live ones life in a way that peace is attained without the need for fighting.
