The document discusses the philosophy and teachings of the Dakota Dragon Defense martial art system and Whole Life Health practice. It emphasizes that developing physical, mental, and spiritual harmony takes long-term commitment and practice, not quick fixes. The system aims to cultivate humility, respect, and the ability to avoid conflict through training the inner self alongside technical martial arts skills. It also discusses specific practices like Qigong energy exercises and conflict resolution techniques focused on empathy rather than domination. The overall goal is for students to dedicate themselves to personal healing and completeness so they can better serve humanity.

1. I am tired of Lazy Sadness! You
can Be Better
Learning to live happy and healthy is not quick
and easy. I am sick of being ask how long does
something take. That part is up to you. I am here to teach and train
and share not magically give you powers and ability that takes years
to develop.
While physical practice and theory of Dakota Dragon Defense in the
Whole Life Health system provides for technical competency, it is not
seen as an end in itself. The core mission of physical practice and
theory is to provide a conduit in which human growth occurs and
where the meaning of all things is seen in the context of the whole and
thus each thing is done for its intrinsic value, a process in which
learner expresses, listens, absorbs, responds, and find them
incrementally enlightened through their effort. Thus, Dakota Dragon
Defense in the Whole Life Health system teaches us that the
development of the inner self develops personal humility, respect and
tolerance for all things of the universe and it is through this specific
training that the learner is able to avoid life’s obstacles and overcome
insurmountable odds in order to live happily and without conflict.

2. In the complete health system targets the three physical harmonies.
The harmonies reflect spiritual and mental, physical health. When your
mind is in harmony with your energy, and your energy in harmony with
your strength, and your strength harmony with your wholeness. When
you train these things together that is true defense against the
damages that will cause afflictions on your mind, spirit, and physical
self.
One of the education practicing I teach is a Doaist system of the
highest expressions in circles within the basic practice of
Baguazhang. This education and practice is very time consuming to
learn and is considered an
energetic and meditative
exercise formally practicing
Qigong. This is a practice I
do every day for about an
hour. Many young students
are looking for action and
explosiveness. They usually
think this is quite boring. In
this slow practice you
develop the understanding
and feeling the body and
these movements, it
becomes a form of action
development of powerful
actions.
Soulful communications training here at Dakota Dragon Defense is a
style of conflict transformation and resolution that involves treating
each person as a partner rather than an adversary. It may strange at
first, but protecting both yourself and the other is fundamental for the
preservation of a balanced relationship in life. One of our codes is “We
shall always preserve life”. ‘If you seek to dominate, you’ve already
lost, but what’s often surprising is how effective the use of empathy is
in deescalating verbal attacks and reaching a positive emotional
result in an exchange.

3. In this timely practice of whole life practice system at Dakota Dragon
Defense we are healing and dedicating yourself to being complete so
you can give your service to human race. Many issues of love, grief,
hatred, anger, jealousy, fears of betrayal, of loneliness, as well as the
ability to heal ourselves and others are never taught in one place
except at a center like Dakota Dragon Defense.
When you are able to learn about different positions in the body that
will help you balance between your body and spirit. This education
many need to understand things like where unconditional love is
centered. Unconditional Love is a creative and powerful energy that
may guide and help us through the most difficult times. This energy is
available in any moment, if we turn our attention to it and use it to free
us from our limits and fears.
I wish you all the blessing in your
journey to complete life.
