WHERE THERE IS EGO, THERE CANNOT BE TRUST

WHEN THERE IS DEBATE, PROGRESS CAN BE MADE

FEAR NOTHING, DOUBT NOTHING
SHED AWAY THE UNNECESSARY THOUGHTS
BECOME WHAT YOU WERE ALWAYS GOING TO BE

I feel that martial arts, any art, comes down to the art of living - dominating survival and thriving. Decluttering the mindbody-mindspace to attain clarity, mental-physical. The art of living is the most fundamental and most important practice of all — it grounds all resolution and grants all possibilities. How often do we choose ‘getting it over with’ over ‘ getting intentional and present’? The rushed wastes life, the still enjoys life. Living is meditative practice. Our voice cannot sound pure, our movements cannot dance if our mindbody-mindspace is cluttered with nonsense and distrust. Living can be made an artful chaos…a peaceful madness… if we allow ourselves to let go, to be. To truly live is to embody movement within stillness and stillness within movement.

LET GRATITUDE BE OUR RESOLVE

Nature observes life, change, cycles into existence. Nature is the work of intelligence. Science is our bridge to nature.

Listen, truly listen. Hear rustling of branches from a distant land…broken prayers of refugees without homes… sweet orangutans, our beloved children and elders, brothers and sisters of the world…
