Subject: RE: martial arts and tri'sI've studied a little Akido in college and it really pushed me into the spiritual aspect of MA. No black belt or anything major but since I've studied a little Jeet Kune Do, Escrima, Juijitsu and Copoiera (not only can I not spell it I have forgotten it all anyways! ) Early on I got into the Zen behind it all. I read a lot about breathing and mental focus, etc. that I now use everyday, especially in this endurance training stuff I've signed up for. Whenever I get bored with my "routine" training I think back to the moving zen of it all, re-focus on my movements, concnetrate on my breathing and start counting the black lines at the t bottom of the pool again.... |
