Aikido = manipulation of power- redirecting the force of an opponent & using it against him, breaking his spirit by using the opponent's strength.
It's like "Let's talk - I offer you my hand rather than a fist" - but if not ....
-Also try to remove yourself from an unfriendly situation - before the situation happens, self preservation.
It's based on AVOIDING the conflict. Avoid conflict and never attack first.
The paradox of the martial art that avoids the confrontation is hard to come to terms with.
