Before studying martial arts nearly five decades ago, I saw Martial Arts as Martial Arts. When I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw that Martial Arts is not Martial Arts. But now that I have got its very substance and I am at rest. For it's just that I see once again Martial Arts is just Martial Arts...If anyone seriously studies martial arts, it is inevitable that such a study will include the development of a philosophical background. It is also inevitable that, as a person grows further into the art, the interrelationship between the physical and mental aspects of the art will also be developed and strengthened. The result can be a philosophy of life in which the martial arts training serves as a base. Therefore, the resultant philosophy can have a profound influence on one's daily life.In order to be a true martial artist, constant learning is only the first step. There are other factors as well: Conviction, Determination, Action, and Great Effort. In developing conviction, one must need to learn, change, and increase one's commitment. This conviction to change then develops into determination. Next, one transforms determination into action--The strong determination to change enables one to make a sustained effort to execute the actual changes. This is the final factor of great effort.I practice, honour, and respect the Traditional Martial ArtsI practice, honour and respect the Comtemporary Martial ArtsThey are just like ying and Yang, harmonize them... We shape clay into a pot,But it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.We hammer wood for a house,But it is the inner space that makes it liveable.We practice Martial Arts,but it is the essence that counts for doing it.We work with being,But non-being is what we use.Parabolically SpeakingI was walking along a path when I was encountered a decrepit old beggar. He put out the palm of his hand and asked, "Can you spare some change?"I looked him in the eyes and answered, Yes, my good man, I could always spare some change for I know that without change I become stagnant and fail to grow."I placed my change in the palm of the outstretched hand and smiled knowing from the moment on I would no longer be the same and I once more proceeded along the path.DISCLAIMER: "These videos are for entertainment purposes only.
