To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.
Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.
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.
There are constant messages guiding our paths through life. To hear we must stop our busy lives a moment and listen.
Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.
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.
To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
The use of aggression for the martial artist is to cover up there anger and or fear. This contributes to their miss-understanding to truly know themselves.
The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.
