What I hope to say

I've had a long going fascination with Martial Arts, ever since I was a child. It has always been my intention to more deeply immerse myself in it, though I haven't practiced since I was quite young. The spirit behind it has always motivated me, the driving idea that what you pursue - or what I would - is not the strength to harm, but the power to protect and the wisdom and confidence that carries with it. I'm hoping that over the course I will be able to come closer to this realization, and in that attempt I hope to bring the truth of it closer to you, as well.

  1. I've always been intrigued by this philosophy too so this should be an interesting journey.

  2. I too have always been more interested in the philosophy and spiritual side of Martial Arts. It is often very difficult to find an instructor who is capable of teaching this.

  4. I believe that the martial arts are one of the true paths to enlightenment. Your perception of Aikido reminds me of an important prayer; “grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.” –the serenity prayer

  5. I posted a comment but I probably did not fill out the captcha or something. Anyway, this is a great topic, I'm glad someone is going about sharing their knowledge of martial arts.
