Comments on the martial way

If you prepare for an attack in your mind, then attack will follow. Check your thoughts, and decide if you really desire the play of fight and friction. If not, disengage your mental preparation, however stay awake, focused and kindly alert. There is truly no opponent, unless you command the vibration that creates it.

Fighting and physical training is truly about self-mastery. As the fight engages, it can only take place if there is an inner battle already. In that case, a fight is always a training for non-violence.

Self-defense truly grows from the inner fear for self.

Defense is based on fear which creates an invitation for attack, always. Attack is based on the need to fill the void that created the invitation.
