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

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

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

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.

To train a life time acquiring skills of self-defence only to seek retribution in the destruction of others becomes a wasted journey; a path of self-destruction.

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

Respect should always be offered to the opponent first. Often this can lead an attitude of dis-harmony into a peaceful resolution.

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