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 win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.

The true martial artist has a caring spirit that sees all as one.

To live only in today or the past leaves no room for tomorrow.

Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.

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 hate or to not hate an enemy! It starts within your mind! Train to see all from the same perspective.

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

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

Within the martial arts, while competition in the form of sport exists, the art of Budo, a way of love may never be truly understood.
