This Friday there will not be a session in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem dojos.
Another step on our way to the Blitz month, during the week we will continue introducing ground techniques, hone our special Kata Guruma Sutemi nage and improve fitness through a variation of the Tsuki Nagare drill.
The second group in Tel Aviv, (Tuesday 20:00), will do, among advanced randori preparation, striking drills. Please bring your punching gloves for the atemi.
The second Wednesday training session in Jerusalem (19:30) will be advanced Kata application. Teachers will be Zvica and Yoav. Here’s a link to the event on Facebook.
Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore, a warrior must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if he feels that he should not follow it, he must not stay with it under any conditions. His decision to keep on that path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. He must look at every path closely and deliberately. There is a question that a warrior has to ask, mandatorily: ‘Does this path have a heart?’ (1)
All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy—it does not make a warrior work at liking it; it makes for a joyful journey; as long as a man follows it, he is one with it. (1)
A warrior chooses a path with heart, any path with heart, and follows it; and then he rejoices and laughs. He knows because he sees that his life will be over altogether too soon. He sees that nothing is more important than anything else. (2)

Because here’s something else that’s true. In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.

The wise men do not partake in leading the world because they know there are even wiser men and wish the world to be led by them. Meanwhile, up jump the fools and evil men and come and take the world into their hands and lead the world according to their evil and stupid ways.
