Alfredo Tucci is Manager Director to BUDO INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING CO. e-mail: [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/alfredo.tucci.5 Meanwhile, this is my destiny: to make a monthly magazine that summons the best I can find on formulas, traditions, Masters and styles that, today as well as in in the past, have left marked the trails and teachings of the way of the warrior. I hope, wish and always strive that my job is well done, because my job is to serve the noble warriors at their highest purposes, so often diminished by a modern society that only exalts to the one who hoards money, and that tries to look away at everything concerning those primal instincts that every warrior must overcome in order to consecrate himself in his greatness. If, for me, all this is besides the prelude to a greater and invisible knowledge, this is just my way of living it; it doesn't mean it's better or worse. Meanwhile, this is my destiny: to make a monthly magazine that summons the best I can find on formulas, traditions, Masters and styles that, today as well as in in the past, have left marked the trails and teachings of the way of the warrior. I hope, wish and always strive that my job is well done, because my job is to serve the noble warriors at their highest purposes, so often diminished by a modern society that only exalts to the one who hoards money, and that tries to turn a blind eye at everything concerning those primal instincts that every warrior must overcome in order to consecrate himself in his greatness. If, for me, all this is besides the prelude to a greater and invisible knowledge, this is just my way of living it; it doesn't mean it's better or worse. At the end of the day, everything's personal in this life and each one of us builds a universe of his own by dint of predilections. Parting from this, the true respect is above any doubt; otherwise one would be being arrogant and pretentious. From here, set in this monthly watchtower that life has placed in my hands, I'll limit myself to share with you my thoughts without any intention to convince, but with conviction; without pretending to deny, but selecting. My goal with the magazine is that, whatever your preference in the Universe of Martial Arts, you can find in our pages useful lessons, suggestive proposals, rich reflections that might magnify your view of a theme as extensive as thrilling.
