"Before the Second World War, Zen Master Kodo Sawaki used to lecture the greatest masters in the martial arts world. In English, 'martial' arts is confused with 'arts of war',but in Japan there is only: the Way. In the West the 'martial arts' are a fashion, they have become an urban sport, a technique, and have none of the spirit of the 'Way'.
"In his lectures, Kodo Sawaki would say that Zen and the martial arts had the same flavor and were the same thing. And in both Zen and the martial arts, training counts for a great deal.
"Many people have asked me, 'How many years do I have to practice martial arts until I can master them?' I answer, 'Until you die!'
They are not very happy with the answer. In the West, people want to learn fast; they want to master all.
"I tell them, the dojo is not a university.
"In true budo, you practice until you die."
