Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.

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.

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

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.

Without some form of understanding of “ki”, the brain will always interpret technique from a physical perspective.

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.

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.

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

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.
