True Martial Arts and the Job of a Warrior
The martial arts and the concept of self-protection is much more than mere punching and kicking, or the development of skill with a weapon. Just as a martial artist or, in the grander sense, a warrior-protector, in engaged in much more than the mere study of violence and violent methods.
This is just as so now as it has been for the past several thousand years. Regardless of the term we use to describe this person…
…knight…
…champion…
…hero, etc…
The warrior is one who understands that his job or purpose is not about killing, fighting, or dying…
…it’s about living.
The true warrior understands that, while there is a need for those who can protect themselves and others from the hatred and animosity of others, ultimately these skills are to be used to insure the harmonious continuation of the highest achievements of mankind: Love, Peace, & the successful achievement of one’s Dreams.
At Warrior Concepts International, students are required to study and reflect so that they might come to an understanding of the difference between a…
Fighter
Soldier, and a…
Warrior
How about you? What do you think, if anything, makes these three types of combatants, different?
Certainly, if we were to look up any one of theses words in a dictionary or thesaurus, it’s quite likely that we’d find one or both of the other two words in the definition.
It cannot be argued that each one fights. In fact, if we were to look only at the actions and techniques used when each is engaged in combat, it would be difficult to tell the difference between them. But…
…there is a difference.
Quite a few actually but, for now, let’s take a look at a primary, philosophical difference - the “reason” that each chooses to fight.
THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE INTENTION AND MOTIVATION - NOT IN THE DEED
The Fighter fights for reward. There is a payoff of some kind for this individual. He or she is either seeking to attain something (fame, money, etc.), or they seek to prevent these things from being taken from them.
The Soldier fights because it is his job. Certainly, there may indeed be philosophical reasons behind his decision to fight (family, community, country), but the soldier is a minion of the State. He or she has absolutely no choice as to who the “enemy” will be or who they are protecting us from.
The Warrior, on the other hand, fights to restore Peace. He fights because there is no other choice and does so to defend something (philosophy, family, etc.) outside of himself. And, when he fights, it is with an enemy of his own choosing and never for selfish, self-serving reasons.
The warrior, though often called upon to engage in conflict using the same methods as that of mere fighters and soldiers, does so, not for the sake of conflict, but because all else has failed and he must resort to violent conflict to stop it.
