The "pitch" for Martial Arts Schools goes something like >> "If you study Martial Arts then you will achieve 'Mind-Body Harmony' ". I SUPPOSE that's true, I mean, it SOUNDS terrific, my only question is, WHY on EARTH would you WANT "Mind-Body Harmony" to begin with ?
We experience Mind-Body Harmony when we eat and when we brush our teeth --it's no BIG deal. When general movements become "2nd Nature" THAT'S when Mind-Body Harmony has been achieved.
The DEAL with Martial Arts is best expressed by a Kung Fu Master who defined, "The study of Martial Arts is for SPIRITUAL Reinforcement but [it] manifests as "Self-Defense." This statement is a good as It gets.
So the problem is that Most Folks don't KNOW that what they REALLY want out the study of Martial Arts is Spiritual Reinforcement, they just "want" something that ends an Unconscious NAG that motivates them to look for a place to pacify that Nag.
The Other Name for Nag is Motivation.
