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.

Such focus! Such intensity! Such control! Such dedication to discipline! No one can deny or minimize what such a foundation can do for children. Who will dare say that such training is not beneficial for their lives, just look at them!
Kung fu is one of the styles that influenced the creation of Shu Ha Ri Do. It is a big part of what I teach, and why I wear a Kung Fu uniform. To clarify, the reason you may see my students wear traditions gi’s is because my transition in the martial arts went from the hard styles of Karate to the soft styles of Kung Fu, to the creation of Shu Ha Ri Do. With that being said enjoy the video.

Understand that we have the power. What I mean by this statement is that it is a man dominated world. As the stronger sex we have the most influence and the biggest impact on the world. Now ask yourself a question, what is your impact? What is your influence? Is it negative or positive, righteous or unrighteous? For anyone questioning whether men have the biggest impact just think of some of the worst criminals that have impacted the world. Think of the worst leaders that have impacted the world. On a smaller scale, think of this, if a husband sent his wife to investigate the unknown sounds
in the back room at night what would you think of him. Right, no husband in his right mind would do that. So clearly his impact on a burglar would be much more effective. For the main idea of this post, it felt compelled to clear up any doubts about the power we have as men to highlight how it gets abused.
In my view, nothing is more dangerous than a man of great influence, and impact having all of that power yet still being weak. Just doing whatever comes to mind with his wealth or fame because he can. Now this may seem paradoxical but after reading below you will understand exactly what I mean.
When our morals are weak, our influence as men can have a toxic effect in the lives of those around us. Morals give us a proper sense of right and wrong. Think of the guiding principles of the bible.
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives.
Proverbs 10:9
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
Proverbs 27:19
As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.
Without a proper sense of right and wrong, what’s wrong can be promoted as right in the minds of those who are watching. This is a modern day trend. Only in the case of a little child does right and wrong become more clear in the minds of some. Things like don’t smoke, don’t snort, ingest or inject any drug, don’t get drunk, don’t expose private parts of your body, don’t
use profane language, don’t cheat on your mate, don’t be promiscuous, don’t go to strip clubs, don’t abuse women or anyone, these and so many other things become crystal clear as wrong. However, when we become adults is when we apparently “lose our minds”. So step 1 to making sure making your power as a man is complete righteously is cultivating a strong sense of right and wrong. All can learn from this but my focus today is us men.
Clearly if you have weak morals, you have weak trustworthiness. Here are some synonyms of the trustworthiness dependable, good, reliable, responsible, safe, secure, and solid. Examine the areas in your life where your cannot be trusted. What are they? Are they dealing with areas of faithfulness to your wife or girlfriend? How about to your friend when
dealing with his wife or girlfriend? Or how about telling the truth to the woman you’re interested in are your motives pure? You see simply in the lives of women we can cause a lot of damage, causing bitterness, and anger to take root in the hearts of good women. We can also lose lifelong friends because we decided to betray them. All due to being weak in trustworthiness.
If you are weak in trustworthiness, you have weak loyalty. You cannot be loyal if you can’t be trusted! Some synonyms of loyalty are allegiance, faithfulness, fidelity. Do I need to go any further about loyalty? I think this point is crystal.
If you have weak morals, trustworthiness, and loyalty, then you clearly have weak empathy for people. Listen if you truly understand your power as a man empathy should be automatic. For example I have trained in the martial arts for 31 years now I know so much about how to hurt someone yet I have not been in fight outside of a ring in 28 years. Why? It’s because I am very empathetic I do not see someone’s lack of self control as an opportunity to dismantle them physically. No. I see it as an opportunity to
let them see patience and self control in me. So, just because you can do something does not mean that you should. Shroud yourself in empathy and you will no longer be someone who hurts but someone who helps and heals people.
If you are weak in some or all of the areas listed above, then your understanding of family structure is weak. No one can dispute the powerful impact that morals, trustworthiness, loyalty, and empathy, have on building strong families. No good man would teach his son to be anything less. No good man would tell his daughter to marry anything less than a man with such qualities in fact we would all be like Samuel L. Jackson on him.
Anyway the question is why, do we see and hear the opposite in so many movies, TV shows, and songs. Why do the most influential people (this includes women but the industries are run by rich men) promote the worst concepts. Unfortunately, we cannot change that, however you can change yourself! MEN, you can turn your weaknesses into power so that your power can be complete!
If you have weakness in some or all of the above then your wisdom is weak. Some synonyms of wisdom are prudence, sense, reason, clear thinking, brains, good judgement, understanding, shrewdness, experience, practical knowledge, carefulness vigilance, tact, balance, poise, stability, and caution. Now, I am not speaking to you as one merely talking. No, I am speaking to you as someone walking this path. I have been conquering self
and teaching this path for 28 years. It has not come without practice, remember what I have said in previous posts about repetition. Musashi Myamoto the greatest samurai to ever live said 1,000 days of lessons for discipline, 10,000 days of lessons for mastery. So please be patient but committed when you start, understand this if you do any of this for 30 days straight you are not even disciplined at it yet. 1,000 days is when you reach the discipline level I teach the same concept in my martial arts class 1,000 to 10,000 repetitions. Please understand this my brothers, repetitions equal power. The more righteous repetitions you do the stronger you will get.
People are hurting out there especially women and children (human trafficking), realize your power as a man and join me in being a part of the solution. Combining this righteous information with your influence and impact as a man will make your power complete, in a righteous way. So by all means repeat, repeat, repeat.

Hello everyone, and thanks for stopping by. In the video below you will get a deeper look into the creation and evolution of Shu ha Ri Do. If you are a subscriber or just a casual visitor guess what? You are a part of the evolution. The meaning of Shu Ha Ri can be summarized in three words, imitation, creation, perfection, watching, creating from what you watched, and perfecting what you created. This has been my walk as Sifu of Shu Ha Ri Do and pursuit of perfection in myself and Shu Ha Ri Do has never stopped, only evolved. With that being said, enjoy the video and please feel freel to share or subscribe.

Greetings everyone, I would like to share an excerpt from my book “Harness the Power Within and Without with you.
In this book I share a lot of information about the process of self mastery under the Kingdom of Heaven. I won’t go into a whole lot of detail at the moment about the full for more on the description click here. However, in this post I will introduce you to a concept in the book called True Positive Self Expression or TPSE. My greatest inspiration in the martial arts Bruce Lee spoke of “True Self Expression”. Bruce’s explanation of true self expression is based on “honestly expressing yourself” and being confident not cocky. However, what I am sharing about TPSE is about healing hurts from the past so that yourself expression is pure, unjaded, righteousness. Please continue reading and you will see clearly what I mean.
The importance of
TPSE
True positive self Expression or TPSE is my phrase which represents what
happens to you once you begin to harness the powers of all three plains of
your existence. When your spirit, and body reflect what’s on the mind but,
more, importantly a positively empowered mind. Spi Me Phy or unification
of mind, body, and spirit is indeed the pathway or gateway to TPSE.
However, here is the problem, everyone expresses what they think are their
true selves. Unfortunately for many what they are expressing is a conglomeration
of;
• artificial influences
• circumstances
• and situations
all shaping the
• thoughts
• feelings
• character
• actions
• and destiny
of the individual. Because life in our society keeps on moving we are
forced to react and not necessarily deal with this conglomeration as a result
we have no closure.
Due to life in our society your self expression may not
be true and it may not be positive. Most of us are oblivious of this process.
We all know that bad things happen to everyone and sometimes things
happen faster than we can process them many of us have had very challenging or unfortunate events and circumstances happen in our lives as
mentioned in chapter two. The temptation is to become bitter or jaded
adopting negative thoughts & actions. Depending on how often a person
experiences these circumstances or situations another temptation may be
to embrace negative thoughts and actions as a right of passage. Feeling as if
they are justified in being;
• angry
• rude
• hateful
• a manipulator
• or criminal
because their life may have been extremely difficult. For the sake of staying
on the topic let’s look pass the effect those things would have on us for
those effects are obvious. We would suffer personally and ultimately be
held accountable for our actions. However, what is not so obvious are the
effects and influence our lives have on others this is why TPSE is so important. At some point in our lives we have been or will be leaders
whether we notice it, admit it, or accept it. We have and will continue to influence people. However, what is unfair is when our son, daughter, brother, sister, fan, or neighborhood children are led astray by what we do. We cannot and should not use the excuses of “well I am just expressing myself”, “this is how I grew up”, “this is just the way I am love it or hate it”, or “don’t judge me”.
These responses are, to say the least incredibly irresponsible. I mentioned how we see everyday on T.V., in movies, and music videos, how bad habits and negative attitudes are glamorized as cool and trendy, because many do not wonder about what’s moral, ethical or Godly, they follow suit and thus what we have is a carbon copy, or copy cat culture.
Many of the front runners of this culture do not look inside (introspection/spiritual inventory) so they may heal hurts from the past and present a happier more positive person, identifying the unseen forces of circumstance and situations that have shaped them. Presenting a person who understands themselves and why they had those thoughts and feelings to begin with. No … many continue to promote bad habits and negative self expression. Some may realize the process that shaped them but are not concerned, may even be pleased with who they are.
For example if as a child I went to bed with gun shots as a lullaby should I try to find pride in that by glamorizing it? Probably not. We as a culture must move away from just reacting without contemplating whether it is right, true, or positive. We must also move away from being mindless copy cats. Away from human see human do, with the sole reason being this will make me;
• popular
• cool
• accepted
30 Harness the Power Within and Without
• trendy
• liked by the opposite sex etc
Everyone should have deeper reasons for why they do what they do, that
go beyond just materialism. Everyone must remember that when their circle
of influence goes beyond just themselves they should become much
more aware of their effect on those whom they impact. To establish TPSE
firmly in your life you must view the body as an outer expression of what is
within, the outer vehicle for the inner man.

Be that as it may, I would like to inform you all about something that I think is just awesome and incredibly vital nowadays. The items below solve a problem that face us all. So many times in the past I have found myself ripping up pieces of junk mail and other items with private information on it (no I didn’t have a shredder ripping it up was faster for me). I would try to rip the pieces up small enough to conceal private information. However, I came across something that is faster and cleaner and I’ve been using them ever since! I encourage you all to read further and think of how much it would satisfy you concerns about identity theft to have these in your home or office.
