@Craig Means nice very true the mind must direct these actions if we all had guides/gurus/quality teachers to help us with understanding these practices we could achieve so much more . Unfortunately the world is full of dumb shits who would rather poison the minds with drugs and alcohol trying to mask their misery . the martial arts has so much to offer in so many different ways mostly bringing out the best in people thanks craig keep on inspiring others

thanks boys your passion is magnetic and it is attracting like minded people .A beginning stance /posture in karate is called musubi translates to "giving birth to the notion of incipient creation" sounds like budo brothers

@Craig Means nice i also like the saying rooted in the feet driven by the legs governed by the waist expressed thru the fingers/hand but this is only physical i do like your philosophical thoughts
