How a Phoenix Martial Arts Instructor is Using a Peace Philosophy to Teach Children and Adults How To Prevent Bullying and Stand Up For What Is Right
One of the more common misconceptions about martial arts is that it teaches violence. At it's core, most traditional systems subscribe to a code of ethics and peaceful philosophy that promotes non-violence.
A true martial artist is probably the most peaceful person you will meet. Martial Artists work on understanding aggression, anger, and human conflict as well as study history and philosophy. These lessons instill in the martial artist both compassion and humility.
The battle avoided cannot be lost. -Sun Tsu
