The Art of Peace???

Aikido has been described as The Art of Peace. However are there any real linguistic arguments for translating



into English as "The Art of Peace" or is this all interpetation?

It is not practice that makes perfect, it is correct practice that makes perfect.

I don't believe there are any linguistic arguments for this.

Its just a strap line.

Horse-racing is known as the 'sport of kings'. ...but it means racing with horses!

I _think_ the 'art of peace' label comes from some of John Stevens' works, and hinges on a comment by Ueshiba. However, as a translation, no, it don't work a'tall.
