Is not just in martial arts of course, and but some martial artists appear as kind of evangelical missionaries attempting to persuade the rest of the martial art world to their singular, dogmatic and non-inclusive view of what is right, what is best, what is most apropos as a way of doing martial art.. Have you also encounter this??
Though what is right for that one person is right for people unilaterally??? That cannot be true?? And what mind set make people disregard the idea or be ignorant of the fact that other martial artists are different from them??? What kind of mind set is that??
An evangelist say to me what I am doing in my art is like I am like try to hammer in nails with a screwdriver.. say, come and change to my art, it is the hammer for the job! I say I was never trying to hammer any thing.. hammering is too noisy here where I am.. He say, you are trying to get a job done, hammering is the only way.. I say no, it is not. And but he cannot hear because hammering is so noisy.. So what is that mind set??
Being caring I would still advocate in your hearts for compassion for a martial artist missionary should you encounter him on your journey languishing by the roadside lost in a fog of indoctrination, starving for appreciation of context, for bigger pictures. This cannot be easy living as that person, unable to accept -or even blissfully ignorant of- how others choose not to do what they them selves do, enamoured of the idea of having the best hammer and then picturing the whole entire universe lost in happy reveries of hammering nails. Is difficult for these people. So please will you also in the middle of my lecture spare a moment to understand their pain.
And but never the less consider before allowing your compassion to sway you to their doctrine. Why? because your martial art is personal to you. If you are serious about it, diligent in practice then you know you do it for your own reason, and yours alone. And your own reason is perfect as it is.. Just because the evangelicals declare it not the hammer for the job, still your reason and your way, it do not need amended, adjusted nor changed cept you decide of your own volition.. I would urge, like it ever need to be said, that you not practice your martial art not for any body elses reason or with any body elses mind set.. these people prey on those with the fickleness of youth! Ye your martial art is YOURS.. your martial art for you, your way!
And so will you ponder this? what do you think? or will you give ear to this fanatical preaching over hammering? perhaps you are like me and always just prefer screwing..
