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

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.

If you study the martial arts with aggression and malice this will eventually bring you to view the world from a fearful place.

Why do we study a lifetime of fighting within the martial arts? To seek a peaceful path to enlightenment.

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

To care for others is the real martial art. To not care shows a disregard for yourself and the universe.

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

It takes greater courage to lead by truth than to lead with fear and deception.

There are constant messages guiding our paths through life. To hear we must stop our busy lives a moment and listen.
