A clear but quiet message!
Master Robert Shook, President/Founder of the Independent Martial Arts Federation passed this message on to me a while back. I had seen it many years before and I thought it was worth putting it here on this page. It has a very direct message but in a quiet and gentle manner. Much like the man that originally wrote it.

"Do not criticize any other martial art. Speak ill of others and it surely comes back to you.The mountain does not laugh at the river because it is lowly, nor does the river speak ill of the mountain because it can't move."
This saying came from O'Sensei Morihei Uyeshiba, the founder of Aikido. I wish more martial artists would embrace this saying. If we all spent more time perfecting the "way of a warrior", none of us would worry about the other martial arts. "DO" is the way and it requires all of attentions! |
DO is the Way. |

SHYGYO
"Shygyo" is the ability to reach inside yourself and use your inner abilities to push yourself when you are physically wornout, mentally tired, and under extreme stress. This is a qaulity of a real martial artists. |
Brushed by O'Sensei Uyeshiba. |
