Non-violent communication is a
system for listening, expressing and thinking in a peaceful way. Some aikidoka refer to it as "verbal aikido" as there are many similarities.

I have found it very
useful in my own life with family, girlfriends, colleagues, etc. It is particularly good at diffusing anger and makes a very practical addition to physical waza.
I am interested in hearing from any aikidoka who practice NVC or are interested in at, as I am currently working on a crossover project. Jerry Green, Ike Lasater and David Weinstock all in the W Sates I am already appreciative of.
Many thanks,
