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

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

To view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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