URBAN WISDOM


Maestro Urban
Don't just learn your katas. Why?  One can quite easily forget what one has merely learned.  Memorize your katas!   Why? One doesn't really know anything until it is memorized.  For Example: Tying ones shoe laces by oneself is the first kata we learn as children. Do you see the point dear readers?

Maestro Urban
What is simulation?  It is the artful-science of profiting from experience in advance.  That is the purpose of kata and sparring.  Practice is profiting from experience in advance.


Maestro Urban
What is the difference between a teacher and an instructor?  An instructor indoctrinates.  A teacher causes one to discover new knowledge on a daily basis even between lesson-sessions.

Maestro Urban
What is confidence? "Being prepared" is the answer to that one.  Why? Being properly prepared is totally Pre-armed.  That is why a good martial artist would take a gun to a sword fight.  Never forget that little tid-bit.
