It’s less important how strong others see you. And far more important in the strength you see in yourself.
If you study the martial arts with aggression and malice this will eventually bring you to view the world from a fearful place.
The pursuit of powerful aggression within martial arts are the most often sought. This only creates more distance from one another and will never be the answer. Seek the pathless path in your journey and all will become clear in time.
Respect should always be offered to the opponent first. Often this can lead an attitude of dis-harmony into a peaceful resolution.
A martial artist should not be measured on their ability to hurt or destroy an enemy but how they can change aggression into the art of peace.
As there are opposites such as, positive and negative, yin and yang, war and peace. We should always strive to seek the art of peace.
Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
