Some think

I have been noticing that most people think that martial arts is physical. It's really mental. Our system (Anjing Banfa) has always been separated into two levels; the physical and the mental. Second level ranks were always set to be physical ranks; except white belt. Once a person reaches into the high black belt ranks, its not a matter of technique anymore; but rather the application and transformation (not Obama style). It's important to work with students to expand their thinking and not to "polish" technique. Don't get me wrong, technique is vitally important but it isn't the art. The art is in your head and your soul. It's good to remember that a fight begins and ends in your mind; as I have said for over 30 years. It was true then and its still true now.
