Compassion is a powerful word. In it contains all of what is martial and what is art. Yet without the years in its study one may not come to understand its true meaning.
To train a life time acquiring skills of self-defence only to seek retribution in the destruction of others becomes a wasted journey; a path of self-destruction.
To win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.
Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.
To defeat an enemy with compassion over aggression will take great understanding. Introduce this as a part of your life’s philosophy.
To hate or to not hate an enemy! It starts within your mind! Train to see all from the same perspective.
To show compassion is one of the highest values. Strive within your martial art to make this your priority.
To hate is to know love. Strive to love over hate, if we are all to survive.
Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.
