Golfing for humility! Yep! If you want to stay humble, just golf. I’ve haven’t seen too many golfers that puff their chest out proclaiming how great they are. Well, that’s if they are pretty good. Except for professionals like Tiger Woods, they should keep their mouth shut! One thing about golf is there is always [...]

Karate is like boiling water, if you do not heat it constantly, it will cool! One of the greatest masters in history once said that. What did he mean? Pretty clear statement as far as mystical martial arts masters go. Often times they made statements that took years for you to understand. This simply [...] An old karate master said: Put your everyday living into karate and you will find “Myo” (subtle secrets). Why would that be. How about self control, self esteem, health benefits, awareness, etc. How do you put it in everyday life. Thinking about your surroundings. Being aware of potential dangers and potentially dangerous people. Also if [...] An old karate master once said, “It will take your entire life to learn karate, there is no limit.” That almost sounds depressing to the beginner. That statement is not meant to make the learning of karate seem impossible or difficult, my impression is that even though you learn much, there is much more you [...] Want to know why the little guys beats the big weight lifter? You can’t measure crazy! You want to know why the half @#* martial gets his head handed to him in a bar fight? You can’t measure crazy! Want to know why the barn cat chases the Rotwiler out of the barn? You can’t [...] Do not think that karate training is only in the dojo. Did I ever take karate out in the dojo? Yes. Many times.

They would say what [...] Instructions from a Sensei often include: Be careful because accidents arise from negligence. That is instructions that may help anyone. Who has not told someone, “look out!” Accidents happen everywhere. I’m currently a sixth degree black belt and when I don’t pay enough attention, I pay the price. Just the other day I was [...] Always be ready to release your mind. What does this mean? Some people released all control of their mind a long time ago, but we’re not referring to the mindless or the druggie or the alky or the person who could care less! We are talking to those who train properly. There are alot of [...] Did You Win? Karate Students should ask themselves that question every time they train. Did you win the exchange? Would that block work? Did that kick work? Did that punch work? Not enough to make you work? Did that technique save your life? How about your child’s life? Getting the picture yet? Sure, shoot baskets, [...] “Time and Tide wait for no Man” After this past week, this phrase makes a lot more sense. 1st, we were vacationing in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Yep! Right smack in the path of Hurricane Earl which, earlier this week had wind speeds of 140 mph. When we left home we [...] |
