Martial arts training and education, the true intent of it, as we all do know deep in our spirit, was never meant to be associated with fighting. The perfection of such skill was to be kept close to the soul. The ability to apply the learned 'art' to a self defense situation unfortunately has become the main focus of this new society. A truly skilled martial arts practitioner will only constantly confront his own shortcomings and never let the 'art' abuse others or its true aim, personal peace.
