I hear you. Like I say in my book, "Somewhere around the twentieth, it becomes a kind of white static that erases any idea you had of what pain was going to feel like."
Thank you for reading, Johnny.

Before a duel in our first dojo, my Sensei struck each fighter's bicep 33 times, without holding back. A test of how forged he already was. Only then did the duel begin.

Thank you for reading. In the dojo, humility is not explained, it is felt. Peace to you and your family.

In our dojo, Go is a back-and-forth exchange of strikes.
One rule never changes: you may call "no more" only after you have received a strike. Never right after landing your own.
You do not get to stop while you are winning. You stop when you have felt what you gave.

Thank you, Johnny. Absolutely. That hamburger said what no speech could. My first gol!!! Honestly, did NOT see that one coming. The real teaching often arrives after the fight, at a table, with no words. That is the void of the unknown. That's how it always is with my Sensei. Flushing uncertainty. Including the unannounced immersion down where the next floor begins.

Before Book Two, there is Book One.
The Bonfire is the philosophy and the vastness: 3,300 ryu, 12 distinct animal ryu, and four locks.
Most students train two decades and only reach the front door of the first lock, never knowing what they are missing.
From the first hunger to learn true, functional, old-style martial arts, to the ultimate end result. This is the overview.
Book Two shows the life of a master outside the dojo, where training never stops. Book One shows the whole road.

Gracias por el consejo. Multisig y NIP-05 son buenos puntos. La identidad raíz se construye, no se compra.

Thank you, Johnny. Reading gives you the map. The void is the territory.
In Book One, my first Kumite duel, a trained opponent kicked me in the face so hard I'll never forget it. I answered by cracking his ribs. An ambulance took him away.
My sensei and I closed the dojo in silence. I was sure I'd be severely reprimanded for going too far.
Instead, he took me to a restaurant and ordered me a hamburger. He told me I had just scored my first goal. He felt like a father who had brought me into the world.
That's where the next floor begins.

Four Levels of Learning
In the dojo, the first lesson is also the longest one: technique.
Level one is technical. You learn the form, the angle, the footwork, the grip. You repeat it until the body stops asking questions. Most people believe this is the art. It is only the door.
Level two is superhuman speed. The same technique, but now it moves faster than thought. Nothing new has been added. The hesitation has been removed.
Level three joins speed with precision. Fast is easy to find. Fast and exact is rare. The movement lands where it is meant to land, every time, with nothing wasted.
Level four is where the combatant becomes the art. No one is performing a technique anymore. The practitioner and the art are one and the same.
My Hanshi taught this the way every real teacher does: slowly, in stages, over decades. Kindergarten first, then school, then the deepest study. Each time you reach what you thought was the ceiling, it turns out to be the floor of the next level.
Learning is not a ladder you climb once. It is a fire you tend, and the flame keeps teaching as long as you stay with it.

Anna Karenina is one of my favorites too. What gets me is how much people of that era were expected to know: how to host, how to hold a conversation with anyone at the table, what a real education looked like. And in the middle of all that polish, Anna is torn apart by love. Tolstoy shows both sides so well. Have you read War and Peace?

Conquerors can destroy the artifacts. They cannot destroy what lives in flesh, bone, and breath.
For 3,500 years, martial knowledge has survived not on parchment or steel, but in the body — passed teacher to student, breath by breath, unbroken.
That is the bonfire. Not a relic. A living flame.

I'm RAF, author of The Bonfire, a story of martial arts lineage, discipline, and what a teacher passes down by example, not by words.
It began with a grandfather who was a Dorado de Villa and a Hanshi who taught me that real strength is quiet. The book is the record of that transmission.
Also available in Spanish as La Hoguera. Ebook, paperback, and audiobook.
I'm here to share it with people who value sovereignty, patience, and lessons that outlast the noise.
