To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.
Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.

To have no compassion in your martial art, shows a cover up of our most natural instinct; “fear”.
