MARTIAL ARTS

“The only devils in this world are those running around in our own hearts, and that is where all our battles should be fought.” Gandhi

​

This sums up the core of my martial arts which I call, Walls Are Bridges. All my training and Zen writings emanate out of that central core principle. It does not mean not to fight. It means the physical fight is the manifestation of the un-transfigured shadows within. My goal is to build bridges between the two foot space between heart and mind, and then extend that connection to others.

​

My writing presents my hopes for what our world could be.

My martial arts is to be able to deal with our world as it is.

One day, what our world could be, and what our world is, will be one.
