Hikari, Light

Hikari Light by Morihei

Katsu hayabi]

Katsu hayabi (勝速日victory at the speed of light) is a highly developed state in which an aikido practitioner has reached spiritual and moral perfection, and becomes immune to violence. "Victory" occurs at the speed of light -- meaning instantaneous—because an opponent cannot even begin an attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aikido_concepts

The Purpose of Judo

As an art and a philosophy the ultimate object of Judo is the attainment of
 harmonious unity of opposites in tune with life's realities; in short, 
unity of Man and God or Nature.
