You can train martial arts
Use them for physical fitness
Ego
Theatre
Vanity
Aggression
And the ‘street’

Or you can be a martial artist
And study:
Your body inside and out
Emotional intelligence
Mental awareness, focus, sensitivity
Discipline and intensity

Developing a toolbox for life
Self defence, defending
And developing strategies for
Physical health
Mental health
Emotional health
And life’s situations

For a martial artist
It’s not an hour a day
It’s a life study
Working at a deep level
For an alchemy to take place
And developing strategies
To live a peaceful
And more harmonious life

Being a positive influence
In your environment
Society
Family
Community
And finding peace
Instead of violence.
