"Martial arts master teaches students to avoid combat"

News URL: http://chestnuthilllocal.com/blog/20...-avoid-combat/ This article entitled "Martial arts master teaches students to avoid combat" introduces us to Cecelia Ricciotti (7th dan, Kokikai aikido) of Philadephia Aikido, who has been teaching at the Mt Airy Learning Tree on and off for 20 years. From the article: But at the aikido studio, everyone laughed at her and her rambunctious little boy. "It's the art I was looking for," said Ricciotti. "I never found a reason to quit." In 1978 Ricciotti was good enough for her teacher to ask her to help teach, and she's been doing it ever since. ___________________ ~~~ To submit a news item to AikiWeb's front page, click here. ~~~ |

Hi Henry, I only comment if I really like the article and I like this philosophy If a 100-pound rock was falling towards your head, would you punch it and try to break it into little pieces, or would you move out of the way to avoid it and allow it to destroy itself when it hits the ground? What if the rock weighed 1,000 pounds?
This simple scene illustrates the heart of the aikido philosophy take care |
