Sensei Jim Dowling - March 30 1959 / August 3 2010 Jim You Will Always Be Remembered
Shibumi Shibumi is a Japanese word meaning refined simplicity, simple
elegance and quiet perfection. Shibumi has nothing to do with the flashy, decorative beauty but refers to a clean, simple,
restrained sense of distinction, refinement and taste. Warriors pursue shibumi
in and out of the training hall. They strive to find that essence of quality, simple and elegant in everything
they do. Jim was a warrior Warriors
walk quietly into a crowded room but people are still aware of their presence. These people stand straight and project a confidence
and posture from years of disciplined training. Jim was a warrior Warriors are never the life of the party. They do not like to draw attention
by talking about themselves or their accomplishments. A true champion never boasts, they are humble. They are not interested
in small talk and speak only when they have something meaningful to say. When they speak their voices are
steady but not loud, confident but not arrogant, bold but not disrespectful. Jim
was a warrior Warriors
shake your hand with a firm grip, they look you in the eyes, and you feel an energy you cannot describe. Warriors keep dignity,
sincerity, humility, etiquette, perfection and character alive in our society. Jim
was a warrior
