– Confucius
Sometimes it’s important to take a step back and simplify. As Confucius said so long ago, we insist on making life complicated. Sometimes we do so with our martial arts also. We insist on making things more complicated than they have to be.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
But take this lesson in the training hall to life, and recognize why you’re doing things, and don’t complicate life . Because as the simplest self-defense techniques are often the best for defending yourself from real violence, the simplest things in life, and maintaining our life free of unnecessary complications produces happier, healthy and fulfilling lives.
Simple methods, done properly, are often the best for actual self-defense. However, this doesn’t mean we could ’t practice things more complex to improve other traits and develop ourselves in different areas. We simply have to recognize the purpose for what we’re doing things.
