Indomitable Spirit

Tamashii—Indomitable Spirit


Merriam-Webster definition; incapable of being subdued : unconquerable.


Im my dojo indomitable spirit is much more than a "can do" attidude. More then "Never surrender, never say die." or "Never give up, never surrender! ". It is a commitment to personal excellence and fortitude in everything we do.


Old Japanese saying, Nana-korobi, ya-oki. This means fall down seven times, get up eight.


The concept of One Encounter, One Chance, is part of the Japanese milieu that includes Tamashii. Do it the first time, there is no second place in a duel.
