"One Can Give A Blind Eye To The Bad/Wrong/Evil Words, Actions & Deeds Of Lost People Only When Their Words, Actions & Deeds Are Not Affecting The Body, Mind & Spirit Of Others Negatively/Destructively" - Sensei Michael Rajchandra

Martial Art Training: Objective 1 - Taming The Homo Sapien In Us

THE WAY THIS DOG OWNER HAS ABSOLUTE CONTROL OVER HIS DOG

IN A SIMILAR WAY, THE INNER HUMAN BEING (SPIRIT) OF A MARTIAL ARTIST MUST HAVE COMPLETE, ABSOLUTE AND EXCLUSIVE ACCESS AND CONTROL OVER HIS/HER EXTERNAL HOMO SAPIEN (BODY AND MIND)!!!

As Meijin Gichin Funakoshi has said that Karate-Do(As in Martial Art) is about "The Perfection Of The Character Of Its Participants", Thus Martial Art Training Has To Be About The Training Of The Homo Sapien In Us, Cause Its Only When One Is In Complete, Absolute, And Exclusive Control Of His Homo Sapien, Only Then Is One Able To Possess and Exhibit Perfect Character (Which Is A Perfect Amalgam of Discipline, Obedience, Respect, Modesty, Humility, Loyalty, Selflessness, Generosity to name just a few).

Dojo - "The Place Of Enlightenment"

The most important thing that a student of Martial Arts must never forget is that a Dojo/Wushuguan/Dojang/Kwoon/(any other Martial Art Training Space/Hall/Place) is the "The Place of Enlightenment", Because It is:
# The Place where you Perfect your Character and Master the Divine Art of Peace.
# The Place where we learn to defend ourselves Physically, Mentally and Spiritually so that we could protect our Body, Mind & Spirit from any Harm.
# The Place where you transform from a Homo Sapien into a Human Being
# The Place where you come to realize, come face to face and connect with your True Self, your Inner Spirit
# The Place where you come to know the True Strengths, Potential and Weaknesses of your Body, Mind & Spirit
# The Place where you work, strive and dedicate your life to eliminate the weakness of your Body, Mind & Spirit
# The Place where you come to heal/fix your broken self Physically, Mentally and Spiritually.

Thus a Dojo is
> As pure and holy as a Church/Temple/Mosque
> A place of Sanctity
> A place that has to be Respected and Honoured
> A place that should be kept free from all the vices and evil in the world
> A place that needs to be protected from any and everything that could possibly destroy it

Unfortunately the Invasion of Gym culture has and is polluting most dojos we see today...

So next time you go to any dojo, go keeping all this in Mind, and you will never disrespect a dojo again...
