The Soul
As martial artists we are dedicated to the development of our spiritual lives. Through devotion, hard work and understanding we can fulfil our inner selves. We can learn harmony, respect and humility by beating people up.
Some people study the martial arts to learn self defence. Some people do it to keep fit. Some to make new friends and some to learn an ancient art that has been passed down by word of mouth over the centuries. Some because they went into the wrong room during induction.
Whatever the reason we will be happy to welcome you to our "family". Some of the lessons you will learn may be surprising. You will learn patience and respect, but in a way that you may not even realise.
The truth is the strongest argument.
But mistakes are the stepping stones to success.
The road to true Enlightenment (satori) is long and difficult.
Wise men change their minds when they get wiser.
