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

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

To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.

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

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

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

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