It's title is: "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior". :)<br /><br />Just thinking about aikido, it's full of paradoxes. For example we should learn to move people by neither pushing nor pulling - or pulling and pushing at the same time. Or that the most powerful techniques are born if I don't use my power.
