I heard this piece on NPR this morning on the way to work. It spoke to me as reflective of O’Sensei’s vision that violence begets violence and the effectiveness of redirecting the negative energy to achieve peaceful resolution of conflict in breaking the cycle of violence. This piece gives an example of how that philosophy might be realized in our daily lives off of the mat.
