All of this "beginning" is cold kitten shit. Deeper and far more profound is the aspect of Past Lifetime Experience of the nature that causes in one the "sense" that the Study of Martial Arts is not only a Health "Advantage" but one of a sometimes DIRE need for some sort of "Self -Fulfillment", the one where you just don't feel good UNLESS you undertake such a Study. The Karma of Lifetimes Past manifest here in THIS Lifetime as an "Unconscious Prompting", a psychological concept skillfully and richly addressed by both Dr. Carl Jung and the great Mythologist, Joseph Campbell. This "something" that "drives" one to search for a School is predicated upon this Unconscious Prompting >>>we don't know WHY we must, but we MUST in order to achieve an Inner Peace, code for, setting our Mind at rest.
It MAY be that we have the most blessed fortune of having an actual Zen Master push us in the Martial Arts Direction but it doesn't have to be such a One. Knowledgeable Teachers, with clues to the Universe's Secrets, may recognize latent Talents and Abilities in us that can be uncovered to reveal our True Selves.
Initially, Training generates physical Strength, the strength needed to execute the drills and then the Techniques demanded by whatever Discipline is chosen.
Now we are at the Beginning.
