Just a quick post to link to another great blogger, author and martial artist. His posts are often insightful and I would like to just highlight one of the latest. I am found of quotes, and this post has a great one.
The quote here is:
You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
Very true. What are you willing to lose sight of in order to attain that goal? And you must at some point leave the shore to venture out and find your promised land.
Another post I wanted to highlight from another wiser than myself, who studies the old school systems that formed modern karate. His training videos, skills, and knowledge speak for themselves.
This post highlights a couple of interesting ideas. The native grappling and arresting techniques inherent in karate (tuidi) are very likely linked historically to Japanese bujutsu. This opens a whole area of interest to me, as well as redefining what the origins of karate are and why it looks nothing like others arts in China and Japan - it is truly a synthesis of many.
