11 Motto\u2019s<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The Martial Arts way begins and ends with courtesy. Therefore, be properly and genuinely courteous<\/b> at all times.<\/li>\n
  2. Following the Martial Way is like scaling a cliff – continue upwards without rest. It demands absolute and unfaltering devotion<\/b> to the task at hand.<\/li>\n
  3. Strive to seize the initiative<\/b> in all things, all the time guarding against actions stemming from selfish animosity or thoughtlessness.<\/li>\n
  4. Even for the Martial Artist, the place of money<\/b> cannot be ignored. Yet one should be careful never to become attached to it.<\/li>\n
  5. The Martial Way is centred on posture<\/b>. Strive to maintain correct posture at all times.<\/li>\n
  6. The Martial Way begins with one thousand days and is mastered after ten thousand days of training<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  7. In the Martial Arts, introspection begets wisdom<\/b>. Always see contemplation on your actions as an opportunity to improve.<\/li>\n
  8. The nature and purpose of the Martial Way is universal. All selfish desires should be roasted in the tempering fires of hard<\/b> training.<\/b><\/li>\n
  9. The Martial Arts begin with a point<\/b> and end in a circle<\/b>. Straight lines stem from this principal.<\/li>\n
  10. The true essence of the Martial Way can only be realized through experience<\/b>. Knowing this, learn never to fear its demand.<\/li>\n
  11. Always remember: in the Martial Arts, the rewards of a confident and grateful heart are truly abundant<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
