First off , Your probably wondering what this means and well what language it is?
Ad Vitam Paramus, is latin and it simply means " We are preparing for life". To many it may have a broad, very open understanding, but to me its personal.
Why I chose this ?
Its a motto "we" live by when we train. We as in myself and the others that train in Seikido Martial arts. The first thing people think is " ooo she/he knows a bunch of punches and kick, big deal" but in all honestly were different, its more than that. Siekido isnt just a place you go 2-4 times week where you learn kicks and punches , its a place where you learn how to fight and protect yourself. It is also a place where we make contact with ourselves. Our fears, anxietys, reaction and habits. Its a place where we can learn a great deal about ourselves in a short time about who we are and also in a sense how we react in the world. The total concentration and discipline required to learn martial arts carries over into daily life. SO, this is why we use " AD VITAM PARAMUS", and this is why I use it because we are ALWAYS preparing and getting ready for life, no matter what. May it be in school, in martial arts and in P.E.
