The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.

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.

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

Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.

Why do we bear arms at the slightest miscommunication? Our relationship with our ego craves always to be right.

The pursuit of powerful aggression within martial arts are the most often sought. This only creates more distance from one another and will never be the answer. Seek the pathless path in your journey and all will become clear in time.

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

To understand compassion one must first live compassionately.
