Training in a martial art has no end, just a beginning.

You can own a sword, display a sword or collect to sell swords. But the way of the samurai sword is only revealed to the user.

Why is there so much energy given to the art of war? The art of peace requires so little!

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

Everyone seeks some form of appreciation. Strive to offer appreciation whenever possible and you will create a peaceful wake wherever you go.

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

Your brain doesn’t always understand what your eyes see. Training is the only option to unlock the many facets to the martial arts.

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.

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

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.
