Gentleman Barbarian

Kindness is acting in love when there is the opportunity for destruction.

Every man should seek to develop both his capacity for battle and his capacity for love.

Love that comes from his values, principles and soul. That guides him in his kindness. Love for the woman he chooses and the children they bear. Love for his tribe.

And the vicious competency to protect what you love.

A physicality that means you’re not one to be fucked with. A backbone to stand up for your beliefs. The guts to do difficult shit.

Kindness without strength is really just softness born from fear. A mouse that’s nice to you isn’t being kind - it has no other option out of fear of being destroyed, but a 600lb bear who shares honeycomb with you is the greatest kindness you’ll ever experience.

Stay gracious, refined and kind; emotionally even-keeled and in control; train your mind to be like a fucking gentleman. 

Train your body to be a warrior.

“A Man Is Protector And Provider” 

The heavily muscled back of Hercules, with the vanquished fire-breathing monster Cacus at his feet, serves as a potent symbol of physical strength. Commissioned by the Medici family when they returned as rulers of Florence to stand in the main public square as a reminder to any who would try to rebel against them. Sculpted by Baccio Bandinelli and still standing where it has for 500 years, this incredible creation in stone was the inspiration for this piece.
