I was completely influenced by the Japanese gymnasts and I started studying all things about Japanese culture.The gymnasts considered themselves Samurai and went about their training and life as such.<br />Zen and the Art of Archery was one of my favorite books.thanks for the comment and very interesting stuff.Mark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-10005036821694266542009-11-01T06:47:03.995-08:002009-11-01T06:47:03.995-08:00diana

I was hooked when I read a book by Eugene Herigel, given to me by my brother, and 1st archery instructor. I usually do a breath meditation period right before a VWC practice ( started L.A.T protocol today) Zen meditation, like your blog writings, has been a great help to me, in pursuit of my VWC goals. <br /> I feel that one of the best warrior sayings that I have ever read is "Who must do the difficult tasks in life?" "He who can."guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613124718844001907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-56121883045103791462009-10-31T18:25:47.415-07:002009-10-31T18:25:47.415-07:00One can have so many "things" in their l...One can have so many "things" in their lives besides training. Each person has a "warrior" inside them, they just have to get at it. Whatever it takes to get that person out. For some it's a loss of family member, friend, or even a pet. For some it's a loss of a job, or a house, or basic day to day necessities. It's just too bad that, for most of us, it takes something really "big" to get us to find our inner warrior! I have gone through a lot in my 47 years and I'm sure there is a lot more to go through, but let me tell ya this......THIS warrior is ready for it all.....and THAT includes the RKC! Well, OK, I'm not ready, today, for the RKC, but then this moment I'm trying to achieve by my words would be ruined! LOL<br />My training is strong, I feel, because of the "other" crap I've gone through in my life! Hell, to come home after a 12 hour shift of working on people who no longer care about themselves to then pick up my bell and swing and snatch is easy. People ask me how I can workout after work. Well, I say, because it's JUST THAT IMPORTANT TO ME! It is my #1 priority!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677754284276322596noreply@blogger.com
