So whats your modern western view of the philosphy of martial arts then? I would say that in order to survive a martial artist by nature must be an opportunist, relaxed in their being and able to adapt to each situation and see the whole picture. If stuck rigidly to a set of self appointed morals then a few things dissapear out of the window........humility for one.....
