Because of Iaido, the Japanese Martial Art for swordsmanship, I have changed from an ordinary high school student to a well disciplined Martial Artist. My ability as a responsible student comes from the strict Iaido training that helps maintain the body鈥檚 harmony with the mind and spirit.
The way of a warrior (Bushido) taught to every Martial Artist sums up the principles one should follow in life. There should never be any regret on past or present actions, fear鈥檚 nonexistent, no doubt in one鈥檚 actions, honor and loyalty is sacred beyond anything. These methods are taught through the art of Iaido, and it enforces upon students like myself. I carry this law throughout my day and never straying far from it. Because by taking this class, I feel self-awareness and self-confidence in anything I do. There is no sense of envy or want for material goods, I am content with my surroundings and could hope for nothing else.
One of the most significant traits that I have gained in this Martial Art is the essential component needed for any task: focus. The key to entering this class is to keep one鈥檚 mind focused on training; there is no room for distractions and only a blank mind will further one鈥檚 skills. Not only does this train me for fighting with a sword, but it has become a skill that I use for school and work. The impact it has on my learning abilities has definitely proven itself with a show of my grades.
Iaido鈥檚 principles and values completely describe my personality. I have a keen interest for other cultures and their customs and this not only provides me with the necessary trainings but also an in depth lesson on the Japanese history. These skills and lessons that I learn each day will help guide me to enhancing my life鈥檚 journey. |||Cool, really cool Japanese tradition culture... i can%26#039;t give any comment to the culture since its ur culture and its really interesting for me... i hope i can see it in front of my eyes, the material arts...
