Here’s what a few people have said about my art:

- “cute in a twisted sort of way”
- “this is wrong on so many levels it’s right”
- “very bizarre”
- sooo cheeky
- simple and clean and sometimes in its own sweet way…deep

Ever hear the joke about the Buddhist taking the tour for new arrivals in Heaven? She asks “what’s behind that wall over there?” and the response is “That’s where we keep the Christians – they like to think they’re the only ones here..”
(stolen from someone on this forum)

It is important to view our martial arts training as an integral, yet not necessarily “special” part of our lives. Once we make it special or give another meaning to our training outside of the everyday activity of our lives, it becomes separate from ourselves. For example, brushing our teeth is not a special part of our lives, but it is necessary to do it several times a day, every day. We don’t “master” brushing our teeth and then quit.
