Our symbol consists of a young Samurai named Hibon, which is the Japanese word for 'unique'. Hibon is dressed in the black uniform and where's a white belt with a red stripe. In some schools the red and white belt is that of a Master Instructor. In our symbol it symbolises that Hibon has mastered himself and is therefore a true and happy human being. The Yin Yang symbol, also in red, symbolizes that through the passionate pursuit of truth and acceptance of ourselves and others we become true masters of life; for a moment anyway for a circle has no beginning, no end, and no half way point - we must always be ready to accept change. Finally the circle that encompasses all things, symbolises the invisible boundary or level of knowledge that exits at any given point of our existence. In order to have time to develop sufficient self awareness and self control we should be patient and give ourselves time to develop; to prepare for the next stage. The human paradox: emotion without control is chaos.
