"The purpose of Aikido training is not to perfect the techniques, but the development of one's personality naturally. One becomes 'resilient' and power is perceived as soft. Movements are natural and efficient, logical  and soft while the centre remains fixed, firm and stable. The progress of one's Aikido development can be seen in the natural movement of the person in relation to his environment."
