Budo training involves violence. Yes, even aikido. There is little more violent in this world than being hit with, well, this world.Budo training is also about learning to step into that place and confront the violence, accept it, deal with it and learn to overcome it. Unless we come to terms with our own capacity for violence, we can never control it. We might deny it, hide it, run from it, but can never control it.
