To view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.

To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.

The true martial artist has a caring spirit that sees all as one.

To live only in today or the past leaves no room for tomorrow.

Respect should always be offered to the opponent first. Often this can lead an attitude of dis-harmony into a peaceful resolution.

Without some form of understanding of “ki”, the brain will always interpret technique from a physical perspective.

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

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.
