of Japan, but anyway and I do honestly wonder, if he is taking the piss.
Because, first of all Samurai and Knights were those men into warfare. Than wisdom does come from reading a lot of books, exchanging about these with others and learning.
Meditation is about being calm and learning how to focus on what you are doing later, no matter if it is reading a book, smacking the kidneys, punctioning a lung wing or placing an IED.
Than the Bushido Code is a codex which is a phlosophical base for a humans actions like the 10 comandements or Mein Kampf.
Learning to fight by hitting the Gym is no Samurai at fucking all no matter what the glass does staring on it. Knight education is a quite different level and Knight Schools are lost since Katyn in Europe and in Japan since the Emperor got hooked up on Cokain giving orders for some quite nasty war crimes.
I am with him on the keep learning advice, but I also know that aiming too low is the biggest problem motivatonal talk thing and would like to softly and with all given respect warn about arrogance when some Yakuzza comes with a Wakzashi (yes, I had to google short sword) or Tanto (the finger thingy one) after coming out of The Last Samurai dubbed Version being possibly in no mood at all for some reason.
Maybe you all should just adopt the best and most suitable parts and not go for a Katana hidden in an Umbrella as the ultimate goal or take bets, if shaking your head and looking like a three years old when facing a Tanto and white cloth will fix anything one realy bad dark day.
Try nobleman?
