Compassion is a powerful word. In it contains all of what is martial and what is art. Yet without the years in its study one may not come to understand its true meaning.

Don’t be attracted only to powerful techniques within a martial art you do see, but more in the peaceful path of what you don’t see.
Do not view martial arts as mere self-defence! You could miss out on so much more they offer.
To view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.
Without some form of understanding of “ki”, the brain will always interpret technique from a physical perspective.
Look for a Sensei that can inspire you to search beyond technique. The longer you study the martial arts, clearer will be your understanding within the applied techniques.
Respect should always be offered to the opponent first. Often this can lead an attitude of dis-harmony into a peaceful resolution.
While performing the shomen uchi Ikkyo technique you must enter in first then raise your arms, not raise your arms then enter in.
To care for others is the real martial art. To not care shows a disregard for yourself and the universe.
