-"But martial arts has a very deep meaning as far as my life is concerned..."-"Though we possess a pair of eyes, most of us do not really "see" in the true sense of the word."-"To bring the mind into sharp focus and to make it alert so that it can immediately intuit truth, which is everywhere, the mind must be emancipated from old habits, prejudices, restrictive thought process, and even ordinary thought itself."-"True observation begins when devoid of set patterns, and freedom of expression occurs when one is beyond systems."-"The fighter is to be always single-minded with one object in view; To Fight, looking neither backward nor sidewise. Rid obstructions to one's onward movement-emotionally, physically, or intellectually."-"To me, ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself."
I'd like to meet:
-Hagakure-The Way Of The Samurai is found in death. When it comes to either/or, there is only the quick choice of death. It is not particularly difficult. Be determined and advance. To say that dying without reaching one's aim is to die a dogs death is the frivolous way of sophisticates. When pressed with the choice of life or death, it is not necessary to gain one's aim.-Book Of Five Rings By Miyamoto Musashi---"Emptiness does not exist. Knowing of nonexistence while knowing of existence is emptiness."---"If you want to learn the science of martial arts, meditate on this book; Let the teacher be the needle, let the student be the thread, and practice unremittingly."---In emptiness there is good but no evil. Wisdom, exists, logic exists, the Way exists, mind is empty."-Celebrated Life Of The Golden Dragon By Bruce Lee---"Dedication, absolute dedication is what keeps one ahead."---"Believe me that in every big thing or achievement there are obstacles: Big or Small. And the reaction one shows to such obstacles is what counts, not the obstacle itself."---"I wonder how many of us have gone through some sort of self-inquires and/or self-examining of all these ready-made facts or truths that are crammed down our throats ever since we acquired the capacity and the sensibility to learn..."---"True Seeing, in the sense of choiceless awareness, leads to new discovery, and discovery is of the means to uncovering our potentiality."---"The past is history and only the future can give you happiness. So, everybody must prepare for their future and create their own future."---"Success means doing something sincerely and wholeheartedly. I think life is a process. Through the ages, the end of heroes is the same as ordinary men. They all died and gradually faded away in the memory of man. But when we are still alive, we have to understand ourselves, discover ourselves and express ourselves. In this way, we can progress, but we may not be successful."---"A way of life, a system to will power and control, though it ought to be enlightened by intuition."---"Martial arts is ultimately an athletic expression of the dynamic human body. More important yet is the person who is there expressing his own soul."---...To live is to express and to express you have to create."View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Heroes:
The Most High, And The God Within Myself"Alone" By Edgar Allen PoeFrom Childhoods hour I have not been
As others were - I have not seen
As others saw - I could not bring
My passions from a common spring
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow - I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone -
And all I lov'd, I lov'd alone-
Then - in my childhood - in the dawn
Of a most stormy life - was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still -
From the torrent, or the fountain -
From the red cliff of the mountain -
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold -
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by -
From the thunder and the storm -
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view -"
