Chiron: Just a Few Thoughts
http://chirontraining.blogspot.com/2015/03/just-few-thoughts.html
The Dream is damned and Dreamer too if Dreaming's all that Dreamers do. Thursday, March 12, 2015. Just a Few Thoughts. It looks like we might be on business stuff for a bit. And there will be some teaching stuff, too. This will be kind of random. I may not publish it (I already have several posts written that I'll never publish- some too dark, some too personal). I may take each paragraph and expand it into a post. I don't know yet. And it has the effect of a self-fulfilling prophecy because once the edi...

Chiron: March 2015

So a little more thinking out loud here. If you came up through the traditional Japanese arts as I did, you were probably pounded with the antipathy between the samurai class and the merchant class. Are you from that culture or that era? Caught in this belief, many of the best fighters and teachers deliberat...

Weak Roof Block: October 2011
http://weakroofblock.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 17, 2011. One of the martial arts aphorisms that's stuck with me over the years is a saying that Guro Dan Inosanto uses when talking and writing about Bruce Lee:. Absorb what is useful. Discard what is useless. Add what is uniquely your own.". I see this advice thrown around a lot, especially when it comes to things like forms and other 'artificial' systems of teaching people to fight that aren't actual fights. Bruce Lee was especially hard on such things in his Tao of Jeet Kune Do. After...
