Martial Arts & Music

5/6/2013

So many times I'm asked am I not worried about my hands getting damaged being involved in the Martial Arts. The answer is NO!!! The Martial Way has given me an insight to life in the way of seeking balance.

 As a musician I am always looking to get better, more knowledgeable. As a Martial Artist I seek balance a softer approach. For years my music eluded me because I tried so hard achieving perfection but as I live the Martial Way I have a softer way. How is this possible? Simply by accepting what I have and making that work for me. As a musician I pushed harder and harder every day seeking more and more but the martial way taught me to seek the simple and less therefore enjoying it ( music) more. Seeing the smallest flower and love it equally as a gift of life. It doesn't have to be any more than just that.


Hang Tuffff,

I have the same fears about my hands! The lessons learned are so worth the risk though.
