Yes I don't believe in god. But I do follow morals, where did they come from? Books on japanese culture, and those books lack of explanation of religion.

When you have no mind, then any thing is possible, and nothing matters.

I like Bushido, not for its vanities but for its use in my daily life. Mainly the belief that every moment I spend doing something even mundane as sweeping the floor, may be the last time I ever sweep the floor.

Wu Wei action is what I strive for, it has nothing to do with religion or god, it is discipline over the mind. To be able to do something with out rationalism. When you do something you like, and forget what time it is, or when you trip over your shoe lace and tumble only to stand right back up and continue walking. In this way I need not worry about foolish questions made by those who disagree with the way I live my life, what is left of it.


He assumes that the cave man is remorseful, what if that cave man was a sociopath?

In some rare forms on Aikido there are competitions.

I wrestle and box on a regular basis, with training partners from Aikido, and judo.

But for the most part I have to separate the two because there are people there that could (Kick my ass) and I could in return kick ass.

I train with military and law enforcement types, so its not the crap you would see at a demonstration.

In an environment where there are rules one can expect an outcome.

In an environment were there are no rules one can expect a death or serious maiming. We could argue the drawbacks of MMA style and Aikido Style all day, and it would be a good discourse.

"There are many styles of Wushu. One style is not better than the other, there is only difference in skill." -Jet Li's Character in Fearless.

You would never see me in a street fight, because I would either mace, taze or shoot the assailant. No reason for me to get my hands dirty.

Many of us will never see a trained person in a real fight that does not involve emotion, we will unlikely see a confrontation with Wu Wei action. Because these confrontations usually end badly, for both parties.

What I do know is that in a life and death situation we can not be sure of any thing. There is no definite outcome.

I would never want to be on the ground with any one, once on the ground we are completely weak to attacks from other opponents.

Train to end all combat with in the instant it was started.
