In Aikido we never attack. An attack is proof that one is out of control. Never run away from any kind of challenge, but do not try to suppress or control an opponent unnaturally. Let attackers come any way they like and then blend with them. Never chase after opponents. Redirect each attack and get firmly behind it.
في الأيكيدو، نحن لا نبدأ بالهجوم أبداً. فالهجوم دليل على أن المرء فقد السيطرة على نفسه. لا تهرب أبداً من أي نوع من التحديات، ولكن لا تحاول قمع الخصم أو السيطرة عليه بطريقة غير طبيعية. دع المهاجمين يأتون بأي أسلوب يشاؤون، ثم انسجم مع حركتهم. لا تطارد خصومك أبداً، بل أعد توجيه كل هجوم وتمركز بثبات خلفه

To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace
إيذاء الخصم هو إيذاء للنفس. أما السيطرة على العدوان دون إلحاق الأذى، فهي فن السلام

I want to know everything; my curiosity is boundless
أريد أن أعرف كل شيء؛ فضولي لا حدود له

Can there really be a martial art in which one downs his attacker with a smile?
هل يمكن حقًا أن توجد رياضة قتالية يُسقط فيها المرءُ مهاجمه بابتسامة؟

"Never fear another challenger, no matter how large; Never despise another challenger, no matter how small.
Large does not always defeat little. Little can become large by constant building; large can become little by falling apart."
لا تخشَ أيَّ مُنافسٍ، مهما كان كبيرًا؛ ولا تحتقر أيَّ مُنافسٍ، مهما كان صغيرًا.

فالكبير لا ينتصر دائمًا على الصغير، فالصغير يمكن أن يصبح كبيرًا بالبناء المستمر، والكبير قد يصبح صغيرًا إذا تفكك

First Aikido in Leadership Working Group meeting for the year ✔️
Lots of faces on Zoom, plenty of curiosity, and a shared commitment to exploring how Aikido principles show up beyond the mat.

We spent time shaping our focus for the year ahead — leadership, integrity, real-world application, and creating spaces where thoughtful dialogue can emerge across cultures and professions.

Our first public offering for 2026 is coming up soon:

🗓 2 February
🌍 Online workshop
🎯 Exploring how Aikido principles translate into leadership, organisational life, and moments of conflict

Grateful for this group and the quality of conversation already unfolding. Looking forward to opening the space wider in February.

"Opponents confront us continually, but actually there is no Opponent there. Enter deeply into an attack and neutralize it as you draw that misdirected force into your own sphere."
