Good question. To define what Aikido is to me I'd have to define first what is an art or putting it in a better way, to give the definition of art. Art is the expression of the beauty an the art unlike the technique, which is only an action, leads to the implicit expression of a feeling. The martial arts have been a constant in my life since I was 5 years old. By reasons of physical and emotional health I took this road 11 years later, that is to say, until being 16 years old. After a long and exhausting searching, though not less fructiferous, among different arts and martial techniques I found in Aikido what is truly a martial art in the whole expression of this word and its concrete meaning. Aikido is, as I said, an art since it contains a set of feelings and of course expresses beauty - its own technique because it's used for transforming this scientific technique in the art itself and to be expressed by and trough it. What Aikido is to me has no major importance except for me, since is my way of expressing myself as a human, it's my thermometer measuring with it the progress of my matureness, it's what motivates me to go beyond my limits, because being in neither race nor competition since the goal of the life is an active life's process, Aikido is the greatest expression of the aesthetic beauty where both aesthetic and functional are combined with he effective, but being a human art like this is in a constant shift and evolution and it's because of this that Aikido is flowed like a stream of water that ends up drilling, breaching and eroding the rock so that could then take it to the universe. ''Remember that time is not important, only life is important'' so train Aikido all your life.
