Aikido is rather a religion than a fight system. Aikido has derived from the budo world.
Aikido is rather a technology than a belief system. Aikido is a technology of self reengineering.
If one can hold these two ideas harmoniously together in their mind, the one is ready to progress with the help of this incredible instrument of self-development.
Edward Suomin has progressed as a martial artist in several disciplines, but his real
achievement can be attributed to the discovery of Aikido as the instrument of human
transformation: from destructive to creative. Edward Suomin has discovered how the other
side, the good (Divine) nature of a human being can be revealed with the instrument of
Aikido. Being already a human nature scientist, Edward Suomin has written a series of
articles about his discovery and explained the process of internal changes in details
including the mechanics, which is self-purification process.
The Practice of SELF Development
message to the world
Edward Suomin believes that the world will come to the point when the ideas (mindset)
revealed in the practice NOW will be realized (found) as the basis of the global community
values in the FUTURE. The practitioner is always one step closer to the future state of the
world with clarity in perception.
Competition now is a major driving force for ‘self-development’. In the future, you will be
attracted by other than championship ‘benefits’ as the model for self-identification
meanwhile being entirely satisfied and realized. Truly! Reveal the alternative not by
comparing your SELF to others, but rather ‘systemizing’ your SELF with others.
‘Systemizing,” in its essence, is something that we learn in our practice.
Skill is only a technical outcome of the practice. Your motive to gain the skill itself is
something that fails you. It’s not just another instrument to feed your SELF (ego) by
learning how to dominate over others (be better at something than others). Your FUTURE
concern is deferent. Reveal it NOW: search for the meaning (of your life) and be ready to
look at your SELF. Only then can you find what kind of instrument our practice is and really
progress.
Internal Discoveries
how it happened
Edward Suomin has been always in the process of improving his intellectual and physical
abilities. His questions were: What is real progress? What is real improvement? What is
ultimate success? He found interest in analyzing motivational forces standing behind
patterns of human behavior. The search for meaning and life experience had been pushing
Edward to a very important discovery. At some point in life, Edward has come to
understanding the origins of limitations in the inborn human nature and has found out that
the solution was there with him. From that moment he started looking at everything from a
totally different perspective.
Edward Suomin is presenting Aikido as the practical art which gives a participant access to
the creational forces originally absent in the inborn human nature. Edward explains that the
True Aikido Practitioner allows these creational forces to build the new Human Icon inside
their living entity. With the new sensorship practitioners have access to much broader
layers of the reality discovering the facts and qualities which formerly seemed abstract and
could be ignored or misinterpreted by immature perception. With each step, the practitioners
increase clarity and comprehension of the real state of things.
The SAA Aikido Labs
laboratory for SELF development
Edward Suomin explains how the SELF development practice can give the practitioners access
to the better side of Human essence. This access is gained by special efforts within
properly organized environment. The essence of the practice is self-analysis which leads to
the internal discoveries. The rules of such practice organization resulted in the formation
of the SAA AikiLab concept.
Edward Suomin promotes SAA AikiLabs network
worldwide. The SAA AikiLab concept is the
focused environment organized by the Aikido practitioners to discover their hidden
perceptual abilities and eventually realize their Human potential. The participants unite to
work on themselves with the instrument of Aikido. Being the Art of Peace, Aikido serves as
the vehicle for the internal transformations of the practitioners: they develop the
sensorship to expand their perception of the Reality. They discover that the naturally
unclaimed potential is nowhere else but ‘among people’, and this potential can be realized
with a special instrument of the True Aikido practice.
The Practice for Beginners

Social Impact
Ultimate Value
By going through self-purification process within the SELF development practice,
participates reinvent themselves as better parents, coworkers, spouses, better members of
the society. It happens because they do not attribute themselves with a ‘shallow winner’
here and there by opposing themselves to others any more, but rather they realize how
‘systemizing’ with others allow them to fulfill their life potential. They become more
sensitive to different phenomenon, and they really widen their perception to see how
everything is interconnected. They reveal harmony of the Upper nature and find place within
it.
Edward Suomin believes such people are more open to implementation of the most progressive
ideas facilitating improvements in every aspect of social life. FUTURE: no wars of any kind.
Equality in global order. Economies will automatically become efficient. Many other
overwhelming positive outcomes. And the cost is only personal effort transformed into the
creative and sustainable mindset nurtured by the SELF development practice.
