Martial arts

Ask me anything, please stay on topic   my back round   The diminished individual   

this is my story as a developing martial artist and also a place to talk about, read about, and watch martial arts.

hmmmmmmm

I know that i haven’t posted anything in a long time. I feel like i need a break from tumblr. 
I understand if you want to leave now. i probably would too considering how this blog almost never post anything.

Enjoy yourselves
and for everyone who is a martial artist, keep moving forward, I want to be able to see something amazing when i come back ^.^

For the past 40 years, Korehira Watanabe has made a living out of making swords and is one of the last people on earth to do so.

I love the sort of person who can be this passionate about his field, and can create something that beautiful. i hope that i can be like this man one day

this video is described as:
Bruce Lee doing Siu Nim Tau, Chi Sau, Lat Sau, Long Beach Demonstration and various training.

this is just a taste of the things he did, but if you’ve been trained then you can realize just how difficult it is to pull off the things that he’s pulling off in just this video… but this is just the tip of the iceberg.

On Sunday November 27th, if he had lived until now, Bruce lee would have been 71, and probably still would have kicked most peoples butts lol.

"Knowledge in martial arts actually means self-knowledge. A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and accept the consequences of his own doing. The understanding of Jeet Kune Do is through personal feeling from movement to movement in the mirror of the relationship and not through a process of isolation. To be is to be related. To isolate is death. To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself. Now, it is very difficult to do. It has always been very easy for me to put on a show and be cocky, and be flooded with a cocky feeling and feel pretty cool and all that. I can make all kinds of phoney things. Blinded by it. Or I can show some really fancy movement. But to experience oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly, now that is very hard to do.”
