THE SECRET TO LEARNING MARTIAL ARTS ALSO DEPENDS ON RELEARNING MARTIAL ARTS!

Sometimes, everyone thinks and strongly believes they have 'learned' martial arts of some kind or many kinds when in fact they have merely scratched the surface, despite al the hours spent in the dojo,kwoon, etc. and kneeling at the feet of'masters' and undergoing various rituals and trials and garnering a wide variety of medals and trophies at tournaments or studied a vast collection of DVDs and read magazine and books by the midnight oil,etc. All well and good, but sometimes all of this stuff merely clutters up your original intentions and understanding and basic experience which led you to martial arts in the first place. Again, you may be so crusted over with opinions and practices that you stumble through the 36 CHAMB ERS of actual martial arts initiation, if you know what this is, then you may know what I am talking about, or end up dying b efore you reach your goals. DEATH COMES AT ANY TIME and martial arts are simply put, another way of dealing with death, anticipating your death, preparing for death, and remembering youself because you may die at any given time, and if you die unaware of your death etc. that might be of great importance. How you die,whether like a dog or a man depends on you not so much when you die or where you die, though these are not to be ignored if possible. Too many try to escape the world, avoid suffering and pain, and settle for 'WE ALL HAVE TO DIE SOMETIME'! The way you die, how you die, are just as important. Martial Arts can prepare you for this in many ways.
