After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.

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

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

To defeat an enemy with compassion over aggression will take great understanding. Introduce this as a part of your life’s philosophy.

To seek the path of ego within the martial arts will seed jealousy and corruption.

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

To hate or to not hate an enemy! It starts within your mind! Train to see all from the same perspective.

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.

To understand compassion one must first live compassionately.

To hate is to know love. Strive to love over hate, if we are all to survive.
