Martial Arts Description

Discusses the connection between martial arts and spiritual awareness in several cultures, and shows techniques for using the mind and body as a weapon

'On the Back' of Martial Arts

The aim of all eastern martial arts is not simply to defeat one's opponent, but to attain the intuitive sense of flow, complementarity and harmony that comes with the highest level of mastery. Systems and techniques range from those using deadly weapons to the 'breath throw of Aikido, where an attacker finds himself flying through the air without the slightest touch from the master. Strength arises, not from muscular training, but from the balance of the three energy levels of Body, Breath and Mind. A true master will have 'a tranquil, unified spirit which is like the ocean, from which the surging waves of defence and attack can arise and into which they again dissolve.
