Martial Arts?

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Please be careful of this practice. Many of the 'new age' ideas are
taught. The philosophy of Buddhism and Zen and Shinto are interwoven
into the martial arts. When they teach meditation and concentration
(focus of power) or Chi, they are teaching that you can do this in and
of yourselves. The physical part is good, the teaching of
self-discipline is good, but to go to higher levels you have to get into
ideas that are more 'new age', and you might not be comfortable with
those ideas. It is more than 'exercise' it can become a lifestyle.
