Anyone can learn karate, but to master oneself takes a lifetime.
This is the inspiring story of an ex-Marine who sought out the one
form of martial arts that would polish his mind and strengthen his
spirit- Kobayashi Shorin Ryu Karate. Finding the right dojo would
lead him to Okinawa and a Sensei (teacher), a seventh degree black
belt, who would show him what lay beyond the pain, beyond the
exhaustion. He was taught Nintai: the art of patience,
perseverance, and endurance.
"The reason there are mirrors in the dojo is to allow the student
to always face his greatest opponent: himself. It is the aim of the
true karate practitioner to overcome the ego, and focus on the
higher goal of unifying the mind, body, and spirit. In Okinawa, it
is the Sensei's responsibility to help the student become humble
enough to attain this objective."
Only when Nintai is accomplished, can one pursue a higher spiritual
path.
