BUDO PHILOSOPHY “Educare” Part 2 By Shidoshi Alfredo Tucci Where are the boundaries of teaching? Unfortunately, we have no accurate maps to delineate this border because we all have our own character, our strengths and weaknesses, our wants and goals. Knowing how to ride a horse does not mean being able to ride all the horses in the world. My dear friend, Colonel Ramos Alcaraz (requiescat in pace), a special Raid rider, hated riding dressage horses, because he said “they had more springs than a computer”. To him, riding meant pace, trot, gallop and jump, that is, getting from one place to another on a horse, experiencing the joy of freedom, coming and going across the fields, being one with the noble beast, and so, making monkey shines on a horse was not only unnecessary, but also something that could even be dangerous, because while you thought you were ordering “ahead”, the mount could be understanding “behind”. It seems that in these things, as in many others, common sense is completely irreplaceable; same thing happens with humility. Filling up your head with things, data or assumptions (that’s what opinions are), like if you were filling a container, will not help anyone to fulfill his or her destiny, to be better and freer, wiser, or happier. Knowledge is overrated as much as wisdom is undervalued. Getting to be simply impeccable in the noble task of education is extremely difficult without the right combination of commitment and detachment. Exceeding the limits or falling short is the most common outcome. There’s no Master that has not been frustrated in his efforts, there’s no teacher without disappointments. But we will always justify ourselves, because we are individuals and therefore we need to be the owners of our reflexes, we want to love each other, we want to be loved, to be respected. Humans are herd as well as individuals. The tribe, whatever the conception we may have about it, is essential in our lives and this principle is engraved in our genes. Although life is a personal experience, the social dimension of our being cannot be either overlooked or turn into a whole that enslaves us or postpones what is only ours. To Caesar what is Caesar’s... Today, what they call education is to associate data with an alleged and always false functionality; anyone who has graduated from the University knows this big lie. Experience and field work are what make the expert, the Master is brought up by time and the stubborn perseverance in understanding. They say that you only know something when you are able to teach it properly. This is the truth, rarely explained, about why the master needs the pupil. The emphasis is always put in the other direction. But it’s in emptying ourselves, in contrasting ourselves trying to explain what we believe we dominate, when we do understand our limitations, it’s the moment in which we discover our deficiencies and, sometimes, we even are amazed to find out that we knew more than what they taught us. And as the old Spanish saying goes: “A clever learns more from a fool than a fool from a clever.” The sentimental assessments don’t make good the exploited experiences. SHIDOSHI ALFREDO TUCCI is the CEO and General Manager of the Budo International Publishing Company, a leading publisher in the martial arts with over 35 years in the industry. He is also author of several books: The Immaterial Dimension, The Way of the Warrior, and The Spirit. He currently lives in Valencia, Spain. 84 MARTIAL ARTS WORLD NEWS VOLUME 22 | SPECIAL EDITION Photograph by coffeekai
