Inattention and neglect causes misfortune!!!
Many times through our lives we have accidents, those accidents can usually be avoided if we take more care in how we go about our daily lives.
If we therefore put the blame onto ourselves for the misfortunes and accidents that we have and put them down to the lack of proper observations of our surroundings and therefore we become lazy.
Our training should be done in the same way, we should always be aware of what is happening around us. Do this and you will see things that the untrained eyes do not see and you will have the advantage.
The headline at the top of the newsletter, does it, with out reading on tell you anything? If the answer is 'NO' then you should wounder again why did I take The martial arts.
This is the name we gave to our Ryu because we try to give the student that comes here to learn the old methods of Funakoshi's karate-do. The way with mind,soul and spirit
Within the ryu you have a variied selectionof students, from Dan grades down. This gives all students quite a selection to draw knowledge from, this wide range of knowledge shold be used to it's
Try when you train to work with a higher grade then youself at sometime and when you do a certain technique and find your partner managing the tehnique with out any problems ask the questions you need to put your tehnique on the right track.
