To understand compassion one must first live compassionately.

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

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

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

Those who only seek destruction within the martial arts are disconnected to themselves and all fragile life.

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.

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.

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

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