Amassus

I am deeply aware of my own interest in the high morals my dojo tries to put across. Time and time again I hear about this ideal or that and how we should try and live up to it.
Aikido books speak of bushido (or is it budo) - codes of conduct, honor if you will.

This side of aikido, above all else is what keeps me coming back for more. The physical side is fun and I enjoy it immensely but the techniques do not drive me, it is the great atmosphere, the feeling of trust and the politeness that brings me back time and time again.

Tell me, is this what you are all feeling as well? I have never felt this in any other sport or martial art.
