Yes, I made one of those tacky pictures with the words on top. So sue me.
I love this quote, and I’ve always fantasized that I could someday be that Renaissance Man in the mold of Jefferson, Melville, or London.
On the other hand, I understand that specialization is necessary. Another one of my favorite quotes is the old maxim, “To find water, dig one well.”
Sometimes wisdom doesn’t make any sense. Like a Zen koan, the truth is between the tension of opposites.

What is Heritage Rough ‘n’ Tumble? It’s mind-body-spirit form of American Rough ‘n’ Tumble, which began as a manner of no-holds-barred fighting in the Southern Virginia backcountry during the Colonial Era and has since grown, evolved, and adapted to the realities of modern self-defense. An amalgam of the varying techniques brought to America by colonists from all over the world, blended with the fighting methods of the over 900 distinct indigenous tribes, American Rough ‘n’ Tumble is perhaps the world’s most fearsome martial art.
