Welcome to
"Do not get into a fight if you can possibly avoid it, but never hit soft. Don't ever hit a man unless you must, but if you hit him, put him to sleep." - Theodore Roosevelt
The Martial Arts, practiced with the goals of self-perfection, preservation of self and loved ones, and physical expression, attenuate the mind and body on the current, the important. Extraneous issues become non-existent, and the student develops an ability to focus on the task at hand and see with great clarity the issues, objectives and opportunities to achieve those goals.
