Quote

“In learning to sail

you do not change the current of the water

nor do you have any effect on the wind,

but you learn to hoist your sail

and turn it this way and that

to utilize

the greater forces

which surround you.

By understanding them,

you become one with them,

and in doing so are able to find your own direction.”

-June Singer


“…you become one with them,…’

This is very much an Aikido way of thinking..

Use your opponent’s energy and to get out of your own way.
