The Complete Martial Artist by Dennis Schaefer
At this time of the year at the Asian Arts Center we start anticipating summer camps, vacations and a lot of hard, sweaty workouts. Some of our students take breaks at various times during the summer, some take the whole summer off. We remind ourselves and our students that there are always opportunities to practice what we have learned, even if we are not in class.Focus and paying attention to what is going on around us is essential in school, at home and particularly during vacation when we…See More
The Home Rules by Dennis Schaefer
Here at the Asian Arts Center every new student receives a refrigerator magnet with our 10 home rules. I explain to student and, if appropriate, the parents that learning and following these rules is an essential part of becoming a martial artist. A typical comment from parents is “these sound like the rules we try to follow at our house.” That is music to my ears.Those ten rules are as follows:Obey your parentsCooperate with brothers and sistersKeep your room neat and cleanKeep your body, hair…See More

What is the Most Difficult Thing About Competing in a Tournament?
What is the most difficult thing about competing in a tournament? There are so many reasons why I enjoy competing that it is difficult to come up with an answer. But I imagine it is more a question of perspective.Competing against myself and others is sometimes nothing more than the reward I give myself for all of the hard work and training. There is a brother/sisterhood that develops in training. The competition there is pushing yourself to the limit; delaying gratification and imagining how…See More

mike spurlino posted a blog postAhns Tournament
Dennis, Chris, Maire and I went down to Mason Ohio for a tournament last week and I think we all enjoyed it.I only got to watch Maire spar and she did great. Threw a lot of kicks and seemed more comfortable thanshe did in previous tournaments ( more comfortable is relative as we all tend to feel like we are running around with our clothes on fire while being attacked by a swarm of angry birds when tournament sparring ).For some reason, tournaments seem to be good learning experiences for me. …See More

A Truth From the Path....
In our journey on The Path, we choose the path, it DOES NOT choose us. We choose Happiness or not. We choose Joy or not. We choose Love or not. We choose Harmony or not. We choose Peace or not. We choose Light or not. We choose Living or not. We choose to Begin or not. We choose Yin or not. We choose the Path or not.
As I ran down this newly discovered path I was intrigued and curious to discover where it was leading me. Ironically, and almost unexpectedly, the beach ended in a lagoon of mangroves. I had come to the end of this beach.
