Training in a martial art has no end, just a beginning.
Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
To show compassion is one of the highest values. Strive within your martial art to make this your priority.
It is not aggression from the martial artist that you should fear! It’s the calm from the lack of aggression you should fear the most.
Look for a Sensei that can inspire you to search beyond technique. The longer you study the martial arts, clearer will be your understanding within the applied techniques.
Respect should always be offered to the opponent first. Often this can lead an attitude of dis-harmony into a peaceful resolution.
The use of aggression for the martial artist is to cover up there anger and or fear. This contributes to their miss-understanding to truly know themselves.
To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
If you study the martial arts with aggression and malice this will eventually bring you to view the world from a fearful place.
