Teaching or instruction.

When you train a dog – you only work trough reward and obdians. When you train a sportsman, you instruct him in various kinds for techniques to improve his skill. However, when you are training the whole human being, that is body, mind and spirit – your are in the process of education.

To handle the first process you just need an instructor, but when we are in the process of education you need a teacher. However there are many levels of education. When it comes to the question of Material Art – we have two concepts “jutsu” and “do”.

The first is only dealing with technical questions – of functions of body and mind - that is the “jutsu” aspects.

When wecome to the question of “do” – we are taking at step higher.

The Japanese word Do, originates for the Chinese Tao or Dao - or the Total Process, - total in the sense that it includes the whole human being body, mind and spirit.

To understand Ai-ki-do, we must realize that with out the spirit or Ki, we will only reaches the level techniques.

To reaches the highest level of Aikido – you need a qualified master. A qualified master is a teacher, who has the protection of a Root Master in Healing (Ki) or in Meditation (Zen) in a Spiritual sens.

That is what makes the founder of Aikido M. Ueshiba and other after and before him Trustworthy masters.

This is the foundation of Yuishinkai Aikido. Master K. Maruyama, call this tranformation of the essences and quality of Aikido: 1) Ko-tai (eath) 2) Jun-tai (wather) 3) Ryu-tai (air) - after this comes O´sensies Aikido 4) Kuu-tai (firer) 5) Kon-tai (eather).

To understand the Aikido of O´sensei – you need Total Perception of all 5 levels.
