"Shinkengata"


It is very dangerous to have any kind of ideas of how things are, or should be, or to believe that there are rules in a real-life fight. Neither is there any such thing as common sense in a real fight. Such an attitude is a very dangerous thing.

Two things are more important than technique, perserverance or endurance (the ability to keep on going), and to have an objective, and keep on going towards that objective, no
matter what happens!

It is not a question of how good your techniques are, or how bad. Even with very good techniques, and the greatest of skills, you may be killed in a real-life fight. You must have all
this in mind when you are practicing your martial art.

A fight is over in an instant, so even if you know so many techniques, it will not help you. It is first, when the techniques become non-techniques that they will, in reality, become of any use to you.

You must use wisdom all the time. If you are attacked by someone stronger than you and you don’t feel equal to the match, it’s better to run away.
Why get beaten up? Otherwise you must fight. If you must fight, fight without passion, but with instinct, inner strength, and wisdom. This is the reality of fighting.

"Humanity"

To learn martial arts, you need people. Martial arts cannot be learned through watching videos and training solo, you must connect with another person to learn, what we do is actually a study of humanness. So through your training, you will actually come to understand your humanity.

This is extremely important, especially in this age of the internet, where people can get everything without physical contact with others. As a result, we will actually have many people forgetting their humanity, and thus, the meaning of life itself.
