What does your Aikido practice teach you that your religious/spiritual/philosophical practice teaches you that makes you a better person?
to turn the other cheek. aka- kaiten. a good philosphical principle with a practical application i.e. no getting punched in nose and no taking things too personally. try tsuki kaiten with 'turn the other cheek' in mind and see how it goes. i teach this in the high school without the jesus stuff thrown on (no offense to jesus, he is my dude . it just isn't legal to mention it).
