The martial path is the foremost way to cultivate through martial arts and seek the truth. The spirit of martial arts is to end warfare through force and put an end to conflict, finding mutual aid and unity as the ultimate goal amid clashes and strife. Martial force is not violence. It is not killing for the sake of killing, or fighting for the sake of fighting. It exists to swiftly stop killing and combat, and to protect and defend all living things. One acts only when there is no other choice, extending benevolence to others as one would to oneself, turning hostility into friendship, and uniting Heaven and Earth as one.
