Shu Ha Ri Do Warrior Wisdom and Martial Arts Blog – Welcome to the Shu Ha Ri Do website. Although Shuhari is a Japanese word, Shu Ha Ri Do is influenced by Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Jeet Kune Do and other systems. My title is Sifu however, I could have just as easily been called Shihan. The word Shu Ha Ri describes the stages of learning all the way to mastery. It is sometimes referred to in other disciplines, as Go. Shuhari roughly translates to "to imitate, to create, to master". This site is all about martial arts techniques, inspiring quotes, safety, awareness, and uncommon knowledge regarding self mastery under the Kingdom of Heaven. Interested in training in Shu Ha Ri Do martial arts visit 17842 S Dixie Hwy 33157 Monday and Wednesday 4:30 to 7:00 pm or contact Sifu G. at sifu@shuharido.com.

3 STEPS FOR MASTERING THE SHU HA RI DO “ENEMY BECOMES ALLY” CONCEPT…

Greetings everyone, in this article I present you with wisdom from my book “Harness the Power Within and Without”. This book contains vital concepts about the Shu Ha Ri Do Code which is also what the “Warrior Wisdom Blog” is all about in a more elaborate way. I wrote an earlier article about the “Enemy Becomes Ally” concept and it can be found by clicking here. In this article I provide a summary of three steps for mastering the concept. Thanks for visiting and reading!

1. Without or in other words, outside of us are circumstances, and situations, things outside of our control that can seem like our enemies.

Seeing these forces as part of a divine plan will cause you to grow spiritually and emotionally, as a result anxiety will decrease tremendously. You will begin to see these issues as opportunities for “learning and creative adjustments” thus making them your ally because you can only become stronger by learning and using your mind not emotion to adjust.

2. Above all you must remember that we are our worst enemies, being and ally to yourself is a daily commitment.

Self restraint is the hardest thing for humans because we are motivated by passion and desires of the flesh, anger, rage, infidelity, envy, lust, etc.. However, the more spiritual you become fleshy motivation begins to fade for these two are opposites. Your desires become more about leaving a righteous mark on the earth. Instead of using the power of your passion for self destructive purposes your focus will be on building yourself and others up. Being and ally to yourself and others is the ultimate legacy to leave on the Earth.

3. Your life is not random it has a pattern that you have chosen, even if you are unaware of it, your “power to choose” controls much of your future. Freedom of choice is a powerful gift from God that he will never override. So “choose” wisely warrior…

NATURE DOES NOT HURRY, YET EVERYTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED…THERE IS MUCH TO LEARN FROM CREATION…

Greetings everyone, I bring to you another wise quote by Lao Tse, “NATURE DOES NOT HURRY, YET EVERYTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED”. There is a lot we can learn from creation. Nature never hurries but everything indeed gets done. Everything in nature moves smoothly in a methodical rhythm yet nothing gets left undone. Nature never hurries and yet is always on time. Just take a moment to ponder that. Take a look at the images below and ask yourself when have you ever seen nature move so chaotically. What feelings do the images create in you? No doubt chaotic, dizzying feelings. What does that pace remind you of? Yes our society that we say is progressing yet everyone is sped up, hurried, and stressed in a chaotic rhythm that we call “getting ahead”. Perhaps the only thing we are getting ahead of is ourselves…

COOL JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME “DEATH TOUCH” SCENE FROM THE MOVIE “BLOOD SPORT”

Greetings everyone, although the “death touch” is the stuff of legend, it is based in truth and deals with a deep knowledge of the nerve centers (energy clusters) of the body. In this fictional scene Jean Claude Van Damme (as Frank Dux) demonstrates the “penetrating power” of the “death touch”. This is just a cool scene I decided to share. If you like martial arts and have not seen this movie, I consider it a must watch! It’s just one of those “cult classic” martial arts movies that everyone especially martial artists should see.

3 POTENTIAL TRAFFICKERS

Please be aware that human traffickers can come in three primary groups.

1.FRIENDS

Choices of friends is so important. Please understand that their are certain habits that can expose you to a human trafficker. Parties, the club scene, drunkenness, drug use or “getting high”are risky activities and should be seen for what they really are “unwise”.

2.FAMILY

Sadly, in some cases family members have been known to sell their own. So, be aware, we live in a new world that is only getting more dangerous.

3.INTIMATE PARTNERS

This is an obvious one. A wise blueprint is incredibly important when it comes to choosing a mate. So many of us having chosen unwisely at some point in our lives. My blog addresses this area and so many others providing a wise blue print for every part of your life is the goal of this blog.

5.ROLES ASSUMED

According to a CNN article, human traffickers can assume 5 roles in someone’s life, they are:

1. Pretender — Someone who pretends to be something s/he is not, such as a boyfriend, a big sister, a father (figure), etc.

4. Protector — Someone who uses physical power or intimidation to protect (but also control) an individual.

MUSIC WITH A RIGHTEOUS MESSAGE… A LOOK IN TO 80’S RAP DUO ERIC B. AND RAKIM’S SONG “PAID IN FULL”..

Greetings everyone, I decided to start I new category on the blog that deals with music with a (righteous) message. For many reasons I advise people to be cautious of the music they allow to enter their ears. The wrong kind of music can do damage,

I will leave it at that… This is why I decided to provide what could be viewed as a righteous play-list for those who understand what I mean by the “damage” that the wrong music can do. I will be posting to this category often so stay tuned. The first song I am choosing is one that impacted me a lot as a child. It is a song by the 80’s rap duo Eric B. and Rakim. I will include a segment from the lyrics as well as a you-tube audio clip of the song at the end of the article. Please take time to internalize how I illustrate the lyrics of this song. It can be a useful tool for you or for when you want your children to see a unique angle of what you want them to learn, and now for the lyrics.

“Thinkin of a master plan

YOU MUST HAVE A PLAN FOR HOW YOU WILL NOT ALLOW YOUR TEMPTATIONS TO RUIN YOUR LIFE…

Cuz ain’t nuthin but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint

So I start my mission- leave my residence
Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents

I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did

Image result for stick up gif — TURN AWAY FROM THE UNRIGHTEOUS PATTERNS AND TEMPTATIONS…

I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain’t nuthin funny
Stop smiling, cos still, don’t nuthin move but the money
But now I learned to earn cos I’m righteous

Image result for do the right thing gif — MY A HABIT OF DOING THE RIGHT THING…

I feel great! So maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
Then maybe I’ll stay alive”

Image result for repetition gif — RIGHTEOUS REPETITION IS THE PATHWAY TO SELF MASTERY.

That is only 2 thirds of the song. It is my hope that this post inspired you or your children or both. There are so ways to come up with a righteous master plan to attack the “lack” in life. I will include many links to resources that will aid you in creating a master plan. Please share this article with whomever you think it can help., and as always Godspeed in your quest for self mastery under the Kingdom of Heaven.

SUPER SUPPLEMENTS! 4 REASONS EVERYONE SHOULD ADD AMINO ACID SUPPLEMENTS TO THEIR DIETS…

Greetings everyone, in this article I will be sharing with what I know about amino acids. When I engaged in competitions this was a big part of my nutrition plan. They helped me to reach peak performance, they will do the same for you. Even though I am not competing anymore I still consume them as a part of my daily health and training regimen.

1.Reduced Fatigue/Better Recovery

Image result for muscle recovery gif

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) (a) Come in three forms leucine, isoleucine, and valine they are essential amino acids, that are not produced by the body and must come from food. BCAAs increase muscle mass, decrease soreness recovery time and promote liver health.

Glutamine (c) helps with, constipation,diarrhea, anxiety, sugar or alcohol cravings, a poor immune system, low muscle mass, slow wound healing etc.

L-arginine (d) this amino acid converts into nitric oxide, which widens blood vessels, which increases blood flow to muscles. “This is what causes the “pump”

2.Increased Mental Focus

L-Tryptophan (e) the body converts this into serotonin which stablizes your mood and helps you sleep.

GABA (f) relieves anxiety, improves mood, reduces symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and is useful in combating attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). GABA is also useful in promoting lean muscle growth, burning fat, regulating blood pressure, and pain relief.

3. Fat Burner

UNIQUE AND EFFECTIVE ANKLE PICK TAKE-DOWN, THE SHU HA RI DO “SNATCH RE-GRAB”

Greetings everyone, in the video below I share with you a technique I teach in the grappling phase of Shu ha Ri Do (Phase 3 Green Belt).

Image result for shuharido grappling

This technique requires timing. For example, you cannot simply expect to lift your opponent’s foot off of the ground. A fake to the face or a push will serve to cause your opponent to flinch or lean backwards which shifts weight off of the front foot. Also, chopping the Achilles tendon will ensure that you are able to “snatch” the ankle/foot off of the ground as you will see in the video. Once in the air quickly switch the foot to the other hand and use the free hand to strike your opponent in the stomach or ribs, pushing him while kick sweeping the leg he/she is standing on.
