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.
IF THESE TWO WOLVES ARE STRUGGLING TO CATCH ONE, HOW WILL YOU CATCH TWO?
Hello everyone! I come to you today with a cool little metaphor, an illustration of a Chinese proverb. In this life goals can be elusive. Trying to achieve what you desire does not come without effort. However, if you are trying to achieve two, or worse 3 or four at the same time. You should keep this metaphor in mind because like these wolves you will exhaust yourself. As you observe the rabbit above with BARRY SANDERS like moves, you can clearly see that one “rabbit” is challenging enough! Focus your mind, to conquer you A.D.D. do not “ADD” more than one goal at a time. I feel what I have said thus far is enough for you to meditate on so I will leave it at that. Have a great day everyone and Godspeed in your quest.
Hello, everyone, I share with you today another bit of wisdom as usual in parable, riddle like form. TRANSPARENT, BUT APPARENT. TRAINED EYES SEE…
In life there can be many traps set by very clever predators.
All of us would definitely call a spider an apex predator. What or who have you seen in this life can be compared to spiders.
TRANSPARENT
Think of the very intricate webs they weave. Think of how clear and almost noticeable the webs are. How many of us to our terror have accidentally run into a spider web? Think of the panicked way we flail around trying to get untangled. Now think of an insect who runs into the same web and ask yourself if the insect had seen the web would he still have flown into it? Now as you know here at the “Warrior Wisdom Blog” I use a lot of metaphors. I leave you with a question on this topic. What are the webs in your life that you need to avoid…
And now a bit of good news! I have recently started a store based on my concepts I teach. Below you will find a shirt illustrated the article you just read. If you like my blog and have been inspired by what I share. Please Rep The “DO” by purchasing one of the awesome tee shirts on the site. The store is just beginning and there will be much more merchandise added in the weeks to come. Join me in promoting Warrior Wisdom by wearing merchandise with a wise message. The name of the store is The “DO” collection, DO means way in this case the “Way” of Shu Ha Ri Do Warrior Wisdom. You do not have to be a martial artist to be wise, but it is my goal that every Shu Ha Ri Do martial artist will indeed be wise. Godspeed in your quest.

Greetings everyone, it is my prayer that my post finds everyone motivated and inspired on the path to self mastery, the life long journey. Today I bring you a thought which I will illustrate and summarize. The thought is simply, “Respond wisely, even when you are treated unwisely”. Let me tell you from experience that this will be one of the continuous challenges of your life. The wiser you become, the better you will treat people, however, the wiser you become it will seem like some people treat you worse. It is a conundrum I have noticed. You will find that you will have to grow in your humility, and patience as you will find yourself pardoning others often. Don’t be discouraged, this is the path of self mastery, this is the true “Warriors Path”. And now for the 3 areas…
WITH STRANGERS OR PEOPLE WHOM YOU HAVE NO CONTINUOUS ASSOCIATION
I WOULD NOT SUGGEST LEAVING A MESSAGE IN KETCHUP, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA…
These are people whom you see randomly like a mail lady, cashier, neighbor, business owners, etc. Please understand that these people are not in your circle. They should be no where near your heart so their unwise treatment should not matter as much. If they annoy you, you can go to another restaurant or store. You also do not have to respond, silence is a great source of strength. You have no obligation to maintain a dialogue with them. So you can “unplug” their negative unwise energy with silence.
WITH CO-WORKERS
THE BOSS FROM THE HILARIOUS MOVE “OFFICE SPACE”
Now here is where we take a step closer to the heart. Now my advice is to protect your heart by maintaining a certain level of separation when it comes to work. How you can you protect your heart simply by being professional and objective. Am I saying that you should show no feelings? Absolutely not. However, as we all know some co-workers can treat you very unwisely. So you must maintain a high level of professionalism. At work you will many times find yourself in awkward positions where you feel forced to interact with a co-worker who treats you unwisely. At those times remain focused on the objectives and let the objectives be your common ground just throw your energy into getting the job done and dominating your work. Again remember that “silence is a great source of strength” you can also “unplug” the negative unwise energy of a co-worker with being silent whenever they attempt to treat you unwisely. If the treatment continues and they leave you know choice, you can go to the next level and get management involved. However, utilize silence repetitiously before you do and watch your wisdom will shine like the sun.
FAMILY
SPEECHLESS!!!
Here is where we get to the heart of the matter. It is very difficult indeed to simply ignore or remain silent when family treats you unwisely. I can tell from experience that because of your love for them you will be forced to pardon family members. Some of them will absolutely break your heart with how they treat you. It is something that if you continue to build yourself up and maintain a strong relationship with God, you will be prepared to do. Many times due to our love for family members they are actually able to grow and become better people. However, there is a limit to how much unwise treatment we should take from family. When the unwise treatment endangers you, other family, or household safety, is where the line should be drawn.
Well everyone, I just wanted to illustrate and summarize a thought that was on my mind. Hopefully you found this article useful, Godspeed in your quest for self mastery.
Hello everyone, I present you today with a bit of wisdom from the book of Proverbs in the Bible. These words are surgical in their presentation of how to keep chaos out of your life. If you scroll through all of the articles that I have posted on this blog you will see how my words are a constant echo of what you are about to read. It is my hope that some people somewhere are inspired by the “Warrior Wisdom Blog” if so my work is not in vain. With that being said enjoy…
1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, 2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. 7 He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to
those whose walk is blameless, 8 for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. 9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. 11 Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. 12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, 13 who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, 15 whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
Greetings everyone! I come to you this fine day once again presenting you with “wisdom from “The Book of Hai Clue”. I am sure most of you have an idea by now that The Book of Hai Clue brings forth uncommon truth. So without any further commentary I will leave you to ponder the truth below, and as always Godspeed in your quest…
Intelligent energy?
No Energy can be created or destroyed only changed
FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING…
that’s what is said of course…
Well, what or who was the source?
What or who was the original type?
There is “one” who dwells in unapproachable light…
Who is seated above the heights…
Permeating all things…
Seen and unseen…
However, what is said
is, sight is supreme…
H’mm…?
Has sight ever seen?
What pushes the stream?
THE INVISIBLE PUSHING THE VISIBLE
It was once said that the smallest unit
of energy visible was indivisible…
Before long, this was proven wrong…
It seems that what we think is not dissectible…
This is the first GIF of an Atom, shot with a new Quantum Laser Camera.
Only becomes more and more undetectable…
Yet human reasoning says…
“Rest assured everything can still be measured
SOME THINGS IN THIS LIFE ARE JUST BEYOND MEASURE
what cannot be brought to bear
is simply just not there…”
Well, the presence of an invisible intelligence
in light of the evidence
is hard to speak against…
However,
with the use of clever,
misinformation
and
disinformation…
Faith, inspiration, intuition, and spiritual wisdom
become ostracized and…
Only what can be seen and understood through,
human reasoning,
get presented as bonafide…
Truth however must be sought as one who digs a well
still doesn’t ring a bell
still feel that evolution can never fail?
well, crack the shell
and do tell
whether you see intelligent design
inside of the cell.
The Golgi Apparatus just one of the many “sub machines” within the cell.
Hello everyone thanks for visiting today, tonight, or whatever part of the day it is where you are. I bring to you today a wise quote from Dr. Martin Luther King. As usual I will provide my summary and graphics to further illustrate the point being made by Dr. King. Internalize the wisdom from this quote.
NOTHING IN ALL THE WORLD IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN SINCERE IGNORANCE AND CONSCIENTIOUS STUPIDITY… -Dr. MLK–
What is sincere ignorance?
Sincere: True, honest, open and genuine
Ignorance: Lack of knowledge or information
SINCERELY IN THE DARKEST DARK
Why is it dangerous?
Because sincerity, openness, and genuineness mixed with a lack of knowledge creates a false sense of understanding, delusion is the result.
THINKING YOU KNOW WHEN YOU DON’T
What is conscientious stupidity
Conscientious: characterized by extreme care and great effort
Stupidity: The opposite of intelligence, it is usually responsible for many acts that follow the words, “Hey, watch this!”
A “GREAT EFFORT” TO BE UNINTELLIGENT
Summary
So what we have with this quote is either someone with a lack of knowledge who “genuinely thinks” they understand. Or someone who puts forth a “great deal of effort” to be unintelligent on the subject in question.
My advice, seek knowledge then seek to understand and apply what you know. Never confuse “sincerity” with “knowing” something. You can be sincerely wrong. Never stick to what you “think” you “know”, always seek to become more and more “intelligent” about the things that matter in life.
As usual my friends and students, Godspeed in your quest for wisdom.
Greetings everyone, I bring you another article of WISDOM FROM “THE BOOK OF HAI CLUE”. This “Hai Clue” is about the quest for truth and how for many it can be challenging to seek it, face it, and accept it. I hope you enjoy today’s nugget of wisdom, Godspeed.
TAKE COURAGE IN YOUR QUEST
QUESTioning opens you up to insecurity
For pure truth is absolute purity
Deep inside many know
That there is so much more to show
Fearing change of course
Afraid of growth by force
Afraid that the result of such gleaning
Will yield a more profound and life changing meaning.
Perspective:
Things are not what they seem many times. Look beneath, don’t fear the truth, be strong, be courageous.
Greetings everyone, I bring you another song with a message. As I have mentioned in other articles, music makes a powerful impact on hearts and minds. Believe it! So the type of music is incredibly important it is not the conscious listening that gets impacted the most but the subconscious listening that does. Your subconscious is always listening, it is the most powerful part of your mind. Program it righteously, with righteous content.
This song touched my heart deeply when I heard it because I feel so strongly about encouraging, inspiring, and helping everyone live wise and safe lives. However, women and children in this case especially daughters I feel strong about for they are the most vulnerable to the bad things in this world. As the lyrics point out “boys will be strong and soldier on but boys would be gone without warmth from a woman’s good, good heart”. Men I speak to you, especially, join me in being the righteous examples and protectors. Be the example of the man you would want your daughter to marry. So she would know exactly what to look for and never settle until she finds it, and yes we deserve things that women “should give us” too however, that’s another subject. Perhaps I will write an article about that… Though I am sure many of you have heard it, I now present to you the song “Daughters” by John Mayer. Below I have also include the lyrics.

Lyrics
I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But, she’s just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I’ve done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
Now I’m starting to see
Maybe It’s got nothing to do with me
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
Oh, you see that skin?
It’s the same she’s been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she’s left cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
Boys, you can break
You’ll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman’s good, good heart
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the God and weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
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.
DON’T ATTACK YOURSELF WITH SELF DESTRUCTIVE HABITS
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.
USE THIS POWER WISELY…
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…
Can anyone refute the truth of the above statement? Let’s quantify it. I will list a just 3 of many things highly desired things. I will answer each category with a question.
Need I go further in quantifying the value of wisdom? Wisdom should be the foundation of everything you do. Biblical wisdom solidifies your legacy and keeps chaos out of your household by all means get. It is my hope that this post inspired you stay tuned for the next. Until then Godspeed in your quest for self mastery under the Kingdom of Heaven.
