Personally I am more inclined towards the Philosophical aspects of Martial Arts.
I detest the modern trend towards learning martial arts as a fad and as a means of violence. The least that I can do to promote the noble thought that's behind the real martial arts is to refer to you some great pointers to martial arts philosophy.
According to Swami Vivekananda we can claim to abstain from something only when we can honestly say that we would have been able to do that thing.
So non-violence loses its meaning if we are not confident that we can attain our ends with violence.So only when one is completely sure of his prowess as a warrior and yet follows the path of non-violence does he become a perfect martial artist as well as attaining the most sublime virtue of perfect non-violence.
Hence is the motto of the Southern Dragon:
Avoid rather than check
Check rather than hurt
Hurt rather than maim
Maim rather than kill
