Budo Philosophies

[Azakel]

From Budo Secrets: Teaching of the Martial Arts Master: The Ten Evils for a Budo Practitioner.

This comes from a Kashima Shin School scroll. Martial Artist or not, all of us would do well to overcome each of these evils-evils that reflect defects in one's character.

1. Insolence
2. Overconfidence
3. Greed
4. Anger
5. Fear
6. Doubt
7. Distrust
8. Hesitation
9. Contempt
10. Conceit

I try really hard to overcome these. I don't do bad, I think the ones that has me the worse is Doubt and Hesitation. And then at time Anger.......

that reminds me of a saying i recently heard: the doubt is a one winged bird, it tries to fly but goes nowhere.
