Unending!!

[sensei8]

IMAGINE

Imagine the martial art that you’ve trained in means everything to you.

Imagine the martial art that you’ve trained in means nothing to others.

Imagine that your martial art is all that you’ve ever known.

Imagine that your martial art is, according to others, unknown; insignificant.

Imagine what the martial arts world would be like without ranks.

Imagine what the world would be like without the martial arts.

Imagine what the martial art world would be like if styles got along.

Imagine the world wide martial arts association existed as it governed in totality.

Imagine that the martial arts world without its legendary masters.

Imagine that the legendary masters don’t respect the martial artists of today.

Imagine the collective minds of the legendary masters condemned politics from its beginning.

Imagine the collective minds of today’s masters authorized the politics of today.

Imagine that your style of the martial arts teaches only effective techniques.

Imagine that those effective techniques lack the freedom of honesty expression.

Imagine the vehicle of the martial arts simply just ran out of gas; going nowhere.

Imagine that today, every martial artist just simply walked away; today was their last training day.

Please, if you would honor yourself, others, and me, add your own line(s) and paragraphs to this Unending poem. Full of everyone’s thoughts from all walks of the martial arts. This poem is for us; martial artist one and all. I prostrate before each and everyone here at KF because of the respect I have for you; my family, as well.

Imagine if martial artists were forced to end their training by the ruling body of government.

Imagine if there was only one style.

Imagine if Funakoshi never made his changes.

Imagine if Musashi never picked up a sword.

Imagine if Pankration had never been banned.

Imagine if training reached a final conclusion

Imagine if the USA owned the MA

Imagine if children weren't allowed to practice/learn the MA

Imagine if kata was thought about in a respectful way

[Dobbersky]

Imagine if the USA owned the MA

I don't see how belonging to a country is relevant or fair, Martial Arts has no boarders, no divides just brotherhood in Budo, this has saddened me friend

Imagine there's no judo

It's easy if you try

No bjj below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no karate

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no taekwondo too

Imagine all the styles living life in peace

You, you may say

I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no kung fu

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say

I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will live as one
