Have a goal before your eyes,
think and feel before and after your actions,
act in harmony with the world
and orient yourself by nature,
continually practice letting go,
and fight like a liberated dog and a wild monkey.

Ucnishik is the way of living in harmony with the universe.
It is no dogma, no religion, no rigid system –
but a practice, an attitude, an art of being.
Earth – We begin with observation.
We learn from the transformations, from dog and monkey,
from nature, which holds up the mirror to us.
Seed – We train the body.
In martial arts and movement, strength grows,
discipline becomes the root that carries us.
Sapling – We cultivate breath and energy.
Yoga and Qigong open the flow,
balance arises between inside and outside.
Tree – We mature into attitude.
Freed dog, wild monkey – freedom.
Resting mountain – serenity.
Profound cheerfulness – wisdom.
Ucnishik means:
From acting with purpose to acting without purpose, to feel with awareness,
to let go when the time has come,
and to live in harmony with the universe.
宇宙に従って生きよ
uchū ni shitagatte ikiyo
Live according to the universe
