A Martial Arts Mantra
I’m Dojo Dad
And I’m here to say
Through Iron Core Style
I can show You ‘The Way!’
On the path of Your Life
There will be twists and turns
That's why Finding Your Center
Is so important to learn ~
You have SuperPowers
That comes from within
But the trick you must master
IS knowing where to begin…
Your body is built
With all that you need
And just how it functions
Are the rules you must heed!
Hold yourself up
Walk tall with pride
You are unique
There's no reason to hide ~
Practice Good Posture
Is the main thing to know
It supports your whole being
And defines how you grow ~
Then you must do
The most natural thing
Its know how to Breathe
So that your Spirit will sing!
In through your nose
To smell the good scents
Full-fill deep your lungs
Your ‘Air-Conditioning’ vents ~
A slow steady breath
Feeds all of your cells
It warms the cold air
And cleans the bad smells ~
Then, when you exhale
Be sure to Breathe Down
Squeeze the Diaphragm Muscle
That's shaped like a crown ~
It surrounds Vital Organs
And It’s an exercise tool
Flex it and build it
And indeed, You will rule!
This simple skill
Is important to know
Honing Posture and Breath
Helps good energy flow!
We are electric!
In our blood, bones, and brain
This Magic Life Force
Can help heal our pain ~
Some call it Chi
Shakti, Mana, or Light
It’s in all living things
And it is our birthright ~
Which means it is ours
To have and to hold
It’s life’s greatest gift
More precious than gold!
Its worth is beyond measure
But it’s yours, and it’s free!
You just have to seek it
Inside your body ~
So as you go forth
Every second you live
The first thing to remember
Is the attention you give
To this bit of knowledge
Of how your body works best
Will help Your Human Machine
To pass any test!

My penchant for poetry flows in a few forms: mostly Metal and Martial Arts. I've sculpted a monsterpiece titled 'The Agony of Man' and recently I've shifted focus to: ironcorestyle.com and dojodad.com ~ but I truly LOVE a haiku moment.
