Subject: Truth in Every Art
Happy Monday Everyone!

"A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can

learn from a wise answer."

"Use only that which works, and take it from any place you find it."

Happy Monday Everyone!

  It is a well known quote in the martial arts that "When the student

is ready, the teacher will appear".   I believe a lot of the time the

"teacher" is always there; the student just doesn't see, or chooses not

to see, the "teacher".  Every art will have something valuable for a

student at some time along their journey.  What is applicable truth to

you now in this time may not be true in ten years.  What is applicable

truth to you in your current environment may change when you step out

on the asphalt or some loose gravel.  What seems efficient for an 18

year old may not work for the 40 or 50 year old.

I have been fortunate to study multiple arts for many years and when

I started training in any one of the arts, I believed that the

techniques I was learning was the ultimate answer to fighting.  Now

twenty plus years later, I am looking at the study much differently.  I

am sure if I am fortunate enough to study for another 30 years I will

view things different then as well.

Look at your study through the eyes of universal truths.  For example,

there are set ranges in combat that do not change.  A good fighter will

educate himself in each one of these ranges.  A good fighter will have

a resistance environment for training for each of these ranges.  A true

warrior is a perpetual student, constantly striving to improve and

better himself through hard, intelligent training.

As always thank you for your support!
