THE WATER

Image
You can scoop water, but you cannot grip it or crush it. Water makes no effort to be high; it naturally seeks the lowest point. If you try to raise it or strike it, it resists and pushes back. It has no will to serve what is claimed—it simply serves. Water nourishes all things. It waters flowers, sustains living beings, cleanses, softens, and embraces. Water always tries to come to rest, yet it cannot be stopped until it reaches its final destination. If you place something in its path, it finds a way around. It can bring down barriers. It seeps through the smallest cracks. Water clings stubbornly to some things, yet it only serves: washing, carrying, softening, cleansing, and shaping. It can evaporate or freeze when influenced. It is unbreakable and invulnerable. It has no shape of its own, yet it can take any shape. Water is clear and transparent—it conceals nothing. If undisturbed, you can see yourself reflected in it. But if you stir it, your reflection becomes distorted—just as ...

SWEAPONS

Image
Sweapons (or simply Sweap ) is my personal armed martial art style. The system focuses on six practical and versatile weapons. These are both realistic for self-defence situations and rich in artistic expression and application. This weapon-based style includes techniques that cover short and long weapons, flexible and rigid types, as well as single- and double-handed usage. Each weapon also resembles some kind of everyday object, adding to its practical relevance. The six primary weapons in Sweap are: Stick Nunchaku ( Twik ) Long stick ( Lonk ) Tonfa ( Brak ) Chain Knife Practicing Sweap is both an enjoyable and physically conditioning experience, carried out with a clear sense of purpose and practicality.

STRETCHING

Stretch Beyond the Mat: Why Flexibility Is a Life Skill Most people think of stretching as just part of a workout routine—a way to warm up or cool down. But for me, stretching is something deeper. It's not just about physical health. It's a daily reminder of how I want to live: adaptable, open, and resilient. A Daily Habit That Grounds Me Stretching is a daily habit of mine. Each day, I practice specific exercises to help me become and remain more flexible. It’s not about mastering advanced yoga poses or achieving some ideal physical state. It’s about showing up for myself with consistency and intention. Flexibility, I believe, is a key element of successful living. Without it, you can't truly adapt to different situations—physically or mentally. The Flexibility Mindset A lack of flexibility can leave you vulnerable. Others may hurt you, break you, or even destroy you—whether that’s through physical injury, emotional turmoil, or sudden life changes. When you're ri...

Peaks and Troughs

Image
Peaks and troughs, highs and lows...  You're constantly moving between them.  Everything changes with time. So... What’s the good thing about a bad situation? A bad situation is followed by a good one.  A bad mood is followed by a better mood.  And so on... Everything is temporary. OR BETTER!?

The INFI Method

Image
The original INFI logo INFI is a name.  Behind this name is your skill.  No matter who you are and what you have learnt. INFI is your skill. The INFI Method The INFI Method is the empty-hand branch of SFS and its most unique part. INFI stands for  Individual Fighting —a way to develop your own natural style rather than copy someone else’s. Unlike traditional martial arts, where everyone must move the same, INFI focuses on the individual. Your body type, reflexes, mindset, and strengths shape your path. The method provides guidance and structured challenges, but the solutions are yours. In practice, this means no fixed forms or ideal techniques. INFI demonstrations never aim for visual uniformity—they reveal how effectively someone can solve a situation in real time. The measure of progress is not appearance, but efficiency. The trainer’s role is not to be a model to imitate but a guide, like a road sign or a runway light. They help you find your own way. Progress...

Yin and yang

This is my favourite oriental symbol of all time. Why? Because it perfectly captures the essence of how the world operates. Opposites, motion, transformation, cycles—this symbol represents them all. It illustrates how seemingly separate forces are, in fact, deeply interconnected. Their dynamic tension and constant interplay are what drive the world forward. This principle applies universally—whether in the material, mental, or spiritual realm. The idea of separation, of duality, is what allows everything to move, to evolve, and to exist in a perpetual state of change. Nothing in this world is purely one-sided. Nothing is entirely good, or entirely bad. That’s simply impossible. You might only perceive one side of a situation at a given moment, but that doesn’t make it the whole truth. Once you learn to adopt a more objective perspective, you begin to see the hidden balance in everything—even in the most challenging circumstances. You can discover the positive potential within situat...
