This article entitled "Verbal Aikido: 7 Ways to Handle Difficult Customers" presents seven "aikido principles" one can use in "off the mat" situations. These principles include, "An Aikidoist strategically calms down the attack," "Aikido never meets force with force," "Aikidoits blend with their opponent's energy," and "An Aikido Master never seeks to kill his opposition."
What are your thoughts on these principles and their use "off the mat"?
