Kabuki is a nickname (after a 1980's wrestler Kabuki Warrior) given to me quite some time ago, but it is more than than just a simple nickname.  The concepts in that name tie directly to the principals detailed on this website.  The Kabuki Warrior is much different than the Kabuki Theater.  It is the ancient Japanese masked or painted warrior.  Although a warrior may not be liked and even despised by those he opposes it in no way deters him from his goal.  In fact this often helps create the strength needed to accomplish his goal.  Once he don’s the mask/paint he must be determined to accomplish his goal, he must believe in it, he must be passionate about it, or he will be killed.

It is that same passion that I prescribe to live by.  To stand up against the mediocrity that is deemed normal today.  To get off the coach and challenge yourself by putting everything you have into what you believe in or wish to accomplish.  The warrior does not give in when he is depleted, he does not let his opponent’s sword take him down, when he enters battle he leaves nothing on the field.

The warrior cannot battle in this manner, with this level of passion, if he is not idealist and believe in his cause.    He is principled, a man of honor, but make no mistake adversity and the opinions & beliefs of others will not dissuade him from accomplishing his goal.
