Although its scent still lingers on, the form of a flower has scattered away. For whom will the glory of this world remain unchanged? Arriving today at the yonder side of the deep mountains of evanescent existence. We shall never allow ourselves to drift away intoxicated, in the world of shallow dreams.

Fiddling with this
And that technique
Is of no avail.
Simply act decisively
Without reserve!
-O Sensei

Thank you Dan Sensei for a great class!

Throw away holiness and wisdom,
and people will be a hundred times happier.
Throw away morality and justice,
and people will do the right thing.
Throw away industry and profit,
and there won't be any thieves.

If these three aren't enough,
just stay at the center of the circle
and let all things take their course.

-Lao Tzu

Driving Directions To Dojo


Here is a link for driving directions and a campus map. The visitors parking lot is just off of Oakwood Drive and Olds/Robb is just East a couple of buildings on the same road. The entrance to the building is on the far side. See you on the mat.
