sensei8 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 If the MA has a lesson, it's that character reigns preeminent in determining potential.Your thoughts. **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkon72 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Potential is like Electrical Potential, all you need is two poles and some connectivity. If you have a serial circuit; you take each step at a time, if you have parallel system; you can back up your training with levels of understanding. Look to the far mountain and see all.

bushido_man96 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think character is very important, not just to Martial Artists, but to everyone. Good people are built on strong character. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Imho, character, and the lack thereof, defines us, and in that, our potentiality.For MAists, I believe that without sound morals/characters, they're just bullies. **Proof is on the floor!!!

Harkon72 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Honor may seem to be an old fashioned virtue; but it is just as valid in the modern world of street and dojo as in medieval battle fields and training halls. They say it is all in the mind; I say the spirit is just as powerful and our only true opponent is ourselves. Look to the far mountain and see all.

sensei8 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 One of my students chided in...One begins at birth and one then ends at death! What fills in the middle can determine many things; good or bad.Interesting?!?! **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archimoto Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 If the MA has a lesson, it's that character reigns preeminent in determining potential.Your thoughts. I have to agree.Our character determines if we stand for something. And to me , that's everything!

sensei8 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 The supposed character of a MAist by the layperson puts quite a lot of pressure on the MAist to prove their worth on and off the floor. The layperson stereotypes the MAist, and in that, that stereotype is perceived by said layperson, and at times, that can be a very hard thing to meet up with, and when that stereotype isn't in concert with actual actions, it's can be a hard and lonely travel to change perceived impressions.Imho!! **Proof is on the floor!!!
