There are constant messages guiding our paths through life. To hear we must stop our busy lives a moment and listen.

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

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

As there are opposites such as, positive and negative, yin and yang, war and peace. We should always strive to seek the art of peace.

We are all of this earth, do not fight or lay greed. The earth is plentiful if we can all learn to share it.

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.

Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.

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

To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.

The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.
