To defeat an enemy with compassion over aggression will take great understanding. Introduce this as a part of your life’s philosophy.

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

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.

Why is there so much energy given to the art of war? The art of peace requires so little!

It’s less important how strong others see you. And far more important in the strength you see in yourself.

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

Why do we bear arms at the slightest miscommunication? Our relationship with our ego craves always to be right.

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

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

If you study the martial arts with aggression and malice this will eventually bring you to view the world from a fearful place.
