The dream of the ideal martial artist is to conquer oneself. Ones dream can only be realized once one has traveled through their inner world and has emerged victoriously. This path is achieved only through self-discipline, and the cultivation of both the physical and spiritual realms. The physical activity of the martial artist, kicks and strikes, is only a fraction of the journey through one of many horizons. Not all who travel this path make it to true wisdom. The few who do are truly blessed.
