thought for the day

[Hammerhead]

“The great body of our citizens shoot less as time goes on. We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power. Thus, and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world… The first step—in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come—is to teach men to shoot!” - President Theodore Roosevelt

"Though they play an important role in the early stages, the techniques should not be too mechanical, complex, or restrictive. Remember, you are expressing the techniques and not doing the techniques. When attacked, your response is not technique 1, 2, 3, 4, 5--rather you simply move in like sound and echo, without any deliberation. React as when I throw something to you, you catch it. Nothing else." - Bruce Lee

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
-Theodore Roosevelt

My right to own, gives you the right to tell me I can't ... !
