Quote of the day...
"Without striking, be struck.
Without waiting to receive a strike, be struck.
Without avoiding being struck, be struck.
Don't use strength; be supple.
Be gentle and make good relations with your partner.
Maintain a beautiful posture. Let your zanshin linger and persist."
- Moriji Mochida 10th Dan, Hanshi (1885-1974)
