Hello to all my #UFCFriend and #MayberryFriend. Given the rise of the growing sport of #PowerSlap, I have new fire which was been ignite in my heart of mine.
While I truly enjoy the #bluecollarwarrior who enter the sport, I feel many much knowledge was lost from this ancient striking and mental martial art and this was quite evident in performances.
You many know me in this realm as PaddyO'malley, but my former name given to me in my village of mine was been Iron Palm AJ. I was given this name by Master Choi before defecting to the West in order to pursue my journey of understand ancient Western Philosophy which have knowledge we was not been givin in my former village of mine.
However, I notice that Western Philosophy has forgotten the teaching of lost art of Bladeless Bushido, so I make this thread to share my daily trainings.
So far I have completed 28 consecutive day of program, which focus of the following gates propose by Bladeless Bushido master Kim Il Sung:
The Gate of Fluidity
Emphasizes seamless movements and transitions between strikes, akin to the flow of water. It teaches the importance of smooth, continuous motion in combat, allowing for rapid adaptation to changing situations.
The Gate of Harmony
Focuses on the balance between mind and body, promoting mental clarity and physical coordination. This gate encourages a state of inner peace and focused presence, enhancing the fighter's ability to respond with both precision and grace.
The Gate of Resilience
Concentrates on building endurance and the capacity to withstand strikes, embodying the resilience of the earth. It underlines the significance of physical toughness and mental fortitude in overcoming challenges.
The Gate of Precision
Dedicated to honing the accuracy of each strike, targeting weaknesses with the precision of a seasoned archer. This gate values meticulous attention to detail and the strategic placement of attacks for maximum effectiveness.
The Gate of Reflection
Aims to cultivate the ability to read opponents and anticipate their moves, mirroring not just their physical but also their mental strategies. It emphasizes strategic thinking and the anticipation of the opponent's actions.
The Gate of Power
Focuses on cultivating and harnessing explosive strength and raw power in techniques. It involves understanding the mechanics of power generation and utilizing the body's kinetic chain to deliver strikes with devastating force.
The Gate of Balance
Teaches the importance of maintaining physical and mental equilibrium under pressure. This gate encourages adaptability, ensuring that practitioners can maintain their center and stability regardless of the external forces they face.
My re-journey through these gates has not only challenged my physical limits but also reminded me as well as deepened my understanding of the mental discipline required in Bladeless Bushido. I was been hope I was ignite a similar passion and curiosity within your heart as we embark on this journey together, rediscovering the ancient tree of wisdom in Bladeless Bushido so all may enjoy the fruits. Follow my journey as I delve deeper into the art that is transcend mere physical prowess, venturing into the realms of mental fortitude and philosophical enlightenment.
Brief summary of the previous 4-weeks of training:
