What is a Master. 

The more you watch the dance of a Master, the more you discover of Elements,
Methods, Structure, Feel, Shape, and even History. It is a whole world in a
Master's dance. It has depth, it is multidimensional, multilevel. If you
watch a dance of not masters - you have feeling that you've seen it all.
Want-to-look-like-Masters adorn like crazy, boleo wide. And this is it. That
is not what counts. 

Unfortunately, often Masters do not care about being recognized as Masters.

Happy are warriors: it is easy for them to find who is the best: one slash
of a Master, and not-Masters lay down dead. It is not like that in dancing..


It is difficult to recognize a Master. If you are not a Master yourself.
