Taiwan Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu
台灣大東流合氣柔術

合気（気合）大事である
宇宙天地森羅万象、悉く融和調和によりて円満に滞りなく動じているその調和が合気なのである
合気自然の気なれば、少しの隔たりも抗ひもなく合一融和するものである
人類社会形成においても合気即ち融和調和が基調でなければならない
これを合気の大円和という
暴を奮う者に対しては合気の理に依りこれを融和致し又敵既発に対しては同じく合気の理により敵の攻撃に随い転化又は変更して融和致さすのである
吾人は流祖新羅三郎源義光公より伝承したる合気之術を基本とし体術（柔）太刀術棒術等武術修業し合気之武道即ち人間修養の道に至達せねばならぬ

Aiki (Ki-ai) is important.

The universe, heaven and earth, all things in nature, everything moves smoothly without obstruction through harmony and unity—this harmony is what is called Aiki.

Since Aiki is the natural Ki, it unites and harmonizes without resistance or any gap.

In forming human society as well, Aiki, meaning harmony and unity, must be the fundamental principle.

This is called the great perfect harmony of Aiki (Aiki no Dai-enwa).

Against those who resort to violence, based on the principle of Aiki, one harmonizes with them; and likewise, when the enemy attacks first, following the principle of Aiki, one adapts, transforms, or changes the enemy’s attack without resisting, harmonizing with it.

We base ourselves on the art of Aiki passed down from our founder, Shira Saburō Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, and through training in body techniques (Jū), sword techniques, staff techniques, and other martial arts, we must ultimately attain the martial way of Aiki—that is, the way of human cultivation.
