An Arnis Master Like a blade Forged of finest steel Integrity worked into strength Beautiful at rest Deadly with intent So you are to me-- As I watch you move Working the blade Smooth in flow of form Swift in precision An art come to life A passion in play And I inhale in awe At your mastery And when you come to rest You smile, And you are . . . you, Simply like me Yet everything I hope to become Flowing in Arnis S.A.T. Dedicated to my instructor, Greg (the grasshopper) by his ever faithful student - the bunny. Arnis is a Filipino Martial Art which uses weapons. It is said that blade teaches stick teaches hand. Thus the student begins by learning to work with steel. To see this art performed by a master is to have ones breath stolen by the beauty of the motion and the mastery. The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart. |

Yes, I believe the art could steal away one's breath, as the master skillfully cleaves the air with practiced strokes... Would be fascinating to watch. Thanx Susan. |
