Great synopsis on the Way of the Warrior.
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."
This took a few warmup sets ( and almost tweaking my tricep again with 95!) but I think it went well over I just have to 'THINK RIGHT...

Rif,
I have always been fascinated with the Samurai, more so than the Arthurian Knights. However, the modern warrior can not caste the concept of danger lightly aside. A modern day "knighted" Samurai, Rickson Gracie stated in "Choke", the man who says he is not afraid is stupid....I am afraid of everything". My interpretation is that you do not underestimate anything or anyone. Always keep your guard up.
Reminds me of one of favorite sayings that my mentor, Dan DeLeon would tell me about working the streets. "When there is doubt, then there is no doubt."
My interpretation....if you ever have to question whether an act or path you are following is not just or moral, then you KNOW that it is NOT. The truth just IS.
me too Pete, as is obvious.situational awareness is key imo. all the time. you never know whenyou need to be ready .. for anything.
