The primordial instinct is part of the conservation of all forms of life. Born with a living being, and with different interpretations and values, has led to wars over the centuries, birth and death of nations and schools to train warriors.
In contrast to this aggressive push some disciplines have operated in the opposite direction. The disciplines of theological or philosophical roots repress these instincts: the man is a higher being and can not live with such low pulse. For these schools, the aggression is the result of an animal instinct to distance themselves from that. Separating the material part of the spiritual, mortifying the body to uplift the soul.
martial disciplines have operated on the contrary affirming the ineffectiveness of repression. We are and we are animals, despite having embarked on a path of growth, they live with these aspects of his being.
Recognising the instinct for preservation of martial arts are taught to manage it properly without moral judgments. In particular, the taijiquan performed slowly with their techniques taught in the determination of natural aggression sublimated into a series of movements like a dance. The detached view, as if by an outside observer, the techniques that are performed to understand and manage leads their natural instincts. Even the use of arms becomes an excuse to get to know better the mechanisms that regulate the "machine man" in its entirety.
So the concept of victory or defeat became an insignificant detail, the martial artist accepts both without joy or sorrow, with detachment. The same concept
proclaimed for centuries in the West: "... turn the other cheek" becomes an attitude of passive acceptance, but of conscious participation and personal growth.
"these lines are born one evening recently, the discussion with a woman who I never met and did not allow me to enter the exhibition from my point of view on the subject. Thank you for what you taught me accidentally. "
