Discipline equals freedom.
To be free is to understand structure.
Personally you are free to do whatever you want to do. Be free in the sense that you assume positive intent from everyone but prepare for the worst to come.
Training martial arts is akin to buying life insurance. Inside martial arts, you must learn to detach yourself from worldly values. To kill the ego and exist as a dead man is the aspect of the warrior. Learn when to turn on and off the warrior so you may live peacefully amongst your fellow man.
Ritual of respect.
You bow in respect to the skill and presence, not in submission. You acknowledge the bravery of showing up as an opponent alongside how you exist to learn and grow alongside the one standing in front of you rather than destroying their essence.
Even in combat, mercy is the strongest form of power.
A lesson from wolves in how packs absorb weaker packs after fights instead of killing one another. We exist to serve the weak. We accumulate our strength through self-sacrifice, not consumption.
My story of chorus.
When I was younger I took chorus in elementary school. I wanted to quit. My mother wouldn’t let me and installed the value of finishing what you start.
I finished, hated it, but finished. I appreciated that value as I got older to take more time to consider my choices of commitment and use it to this day to hold people accountable.
You get good at everything you practice. If you practice quitting, you get good at quitting.
Respect in violence.
The art of violence is the most intimate form of connection. That level of care of connection requires mutual respect. Respect for yourself to stay within morals and ethics.
Respect for the other and their life’s work. Respect for the greater good that we will be judged by the beyond and exist as vehicles for the energy that flows in this plane of existence.
Martial arts vs. school.
Martial arts teaches the egotistical humility. It teaches the feeble confidence. It teaches the immature, growth through challenge. It teaches the mature, youthful exuberance and play. It completes people. Discipline through a game that risks your life is an ultimate form of love.
To show up vulnerable and fight to your last breath of life, or output power beyond your current comprehension through rigorous drilling. School doesn’t teach these values. School teaches children how to be followers. We teach children to be powerful servant leaders.
Daily ritual.
Dream journaling. Like an artist sculpting clay, you find your true self by minimizing from your dreams. What may seem broad or obscure can typically be broken down into a 12-week goal and, through consistent practice, be reached with the right support and guidance.
Tradition to modern life.
Learn business. To receive money is to accept a contract of the word and skill. The rituals themselves can be translated into your life as we develop as humans.
Everything is everything. School doesn’t end. Pain is a consistent, great teacher. Work is how we earn our food. respect the hunt and harvest. Life is a gift. Spend your time wisely and remember to slow down.
