trying to get some fun back
Porphirya, the true nature of Budo is mercy and peace. With time, you'll reach that conclusion as most of the people practicing martial arts have.:)
'It's better to avoid a battle than to win one'. I forgot who said that but with time I come to agree more and more with it.
Also, like Gichin Funakoshi says 'When two tigers fight, one of them comes out dead and the other one - crippled'. So, why cripple each other?:P
Win, I'm alive and I'm coming to Plovdiv next week to do some training:)
dunc, where've you been? you alive?:}
Well, he bowed as a true samurai. I.e. a samurai bowing to me, not Duncan bowing to a Samurai:P
A true samurai shows no mercy and expects none. If Herucalmo represents the samurai of today, I will commit seppuku as I can no longer find joy in this world.
That's the spirit of ai-ki!
