Quote

Unfortunately, now in boxing people are only allowed to punch. In Judo, people are only allowed to throw. I do not despise these kinds of martial arts. What I mean is, we now find rigid forms which create differences among clans, and the world of martial art is shattered as a result.

To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.
