Always remember: life's battles are won not with brute force, but with the subtle art of adapting like water. This concept has always been applied in Karate and most martial arts. No one knows who said it first, but it was made famous by the great Bruce Lee. #karate #martialarts #combat #selfdefense

The dojo floor absorbs sweat and tears, transforming them into the foundation of unbreakable spirit. Clear your mind, give it your best, and you'll start to understand the way of the empty hand. #karate #martialarts #combat #selfdefense

In Karate it is said that "the art of developing the mind is more important than the art of applying technique". I just realized this applies to everything in my life. #karate #martialarts #combat #selfdefense

One precept of Karate is to "first understand yourself, then understand others". I'm still struggling with the first part. Perhaps one day I'll feel ready to tackle the latter. #karate #martialarts #combat #selfdefense
