A martial artist should not be measured on their ability to hurt or destroy an enemy but how they can change aggression into the art of peace.

It’s less important how strong others see you. And far more important in the strength you see in yourself.

Within the martial arts, while competition in the form of sport exists, the art of Budo, a way of love may never be truly understood.

Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.

To train a life time acquiring skills of self-defence only to seek retribution in the destruction of others becomes a wasted journey; a path of self-destruction.

Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.

Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.

To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.
