The highest form of any martial art is to escape. We do not have the right to do harm to another living being. But, sometime the choices of the attacker reduce our choices.

So the idea of escape is to do as little harm as necessary so the police can then do their jobs. Today people like to do harm and often times over mere words. We must develop the Strength to do NO Harm in a world that loves to do harm.

The Strength to do NO Harm

To react violently to words is a great weakness. I always recall when I think of this the movie Road House in which one of the bouncers asks Swayze "what if he calls my mama a c**ks**ker?" And Swayze responds, "well is she?" Brilliant writing.

They are only words used to control someone. Think of how people are manipulated today especially by words. If we have the Strength to do NO Harm then we cannot be manipulated. 

To do harm is our ego in control. There are times when you have to do harm, but you need to only do enough to end the threat. This is legally and morally. Yeah, I know morally, today that word is bound in political BS.

Their term "the greater good" means what is good for them, not society. 

Would it not be wonderful to be able to take control of any situation? It requires work to do this! Natural Laws application, training and most of all controlling the EGO which in 2023 is running wild in the masses.

And then if you end up in a situation you cannot walk away from you use a combination of natural laws, and the natural laws that are pressure points to end the threat, and walk away. This knowledge means you can use responsible force. 

The Strength to do NO Harm

There is a saying in Kosho Ryu to "show the attacker his wrong doing." This is accomplished by the frustration of the fact they can do nothing successfully to you because your skills shut them down every time! 

How is this done? 2 courses, that is all. Introduction to Kosho Ryu, and Pressure Points of Kosho Ryu. Now this is 2 courses provided you are training in a style of martial arts. And having Kyusho knowledge will also enhance this result! Because Kyusho like Kosho is a study not a style of martial art.

However I am assuming you are trained in a style of martial arts also. Not someone right off the street with no training. 

The Strength to do NO Harm in Conclusion

I our world today many who have taken oaths to do no harm have done nothing but harm. If you look at the political class especially you see this clearly. Doctors injecting people with experiment chemicals under the lie of the "greater good" but in truth to line their pockets with kickbacks and payoff. The system is corrupted to the core. Like ALL the political class is. 

Alleged teachers in universities brain washing kids on their political belief systems yet not doing their jobs.  Teaching histoicallt FAILED ideolgies to destroy an already broken world. These "people" are not what I consider to be intellectuals. Only brainwashed fools.

Why do I say this? The number of kids who cannot spell, do math of even think for themselves, and yet think they can save the world when they cannot even control their own lives. 

My children would NEVER be a school in the western culture today. 

The Strength to do NO Harm to a true virtue, not virtue signalling like is seen all over anti-social media and the FAKE news for profit.

Way of Peace or Way of Violence

I explained to her I am a man of peace. And I am a man of peace. Anyone who knows me in the real world knows this for a truth. But I understand that in order to be peaceful one MUST understand violence. Denial of it is dangerous. This is part of the yin/yang theories taught.  Way of Peace or Way of Violence are two halves of the whole.

I recall once a few years back I was on a crowed bus going into town. The bus stopped suddenly and with the forward motion, as many were standing, I stepped HARD on a man foot. He was NOT happy. I touched him gently on the should and said "Îmi pare foarte rău!" or I am VERY sorry. The anger melted and he nodded his head in appreciation.

His anger came up quickly, and I responded quickly. I do not know him, or what his life/day have been like. How we react or respond to our day is based on the person we are. And as martial artists it is our responsibility to become a better person each and every day.

Way of Peace or Way of Violence

Way of Peace or Way of Violence: There are many out there who seem to believe they have the "right" to do harm. And yet get very upset when harm is done to them. This is simply the law of Karma, cause and effect. What seeds we sow so shall we reap! This is inescapable!

To "show the attacker his or her wrong doing" is the highest form of any martial art. It is not self gratification but rather to be humble. This lady's comment on that post where thought provoking. I wonder if she knows the found of her martial art Morihei Ueshiba had known great violence in his life? And had taken life due to circumstances, yet can be called a man of peace!

Likely not. Few study history. But in this history is an understanding of the Way of Peace or Way of Violence

We need a new paradigm in the martial arts world. Not one of rank, promotions, halls of fame or victories in rings, but rather victory of the self. Self control and compassion beyond anything seem today. Taking charge of our own lives for the better of all mankind. 

To stand and fight or to escape?

If I wish to show the attacker his wrong doing then to escape doing a little harm as possible becomes the goal. Not to do harm to stroke my own ego as to what a great fighter I am.

Conclusion - Way of Peace or Way of Violence

I do not believe my comment back influenced her. And it is funny because while I recognize the high level of violence today in the world I live in a very non violent place. Way of Peace or Way of Violence is a path we can choose from by our day to day actions and thoughts. 

Thank you for reading Way of Peace or Way of Violence. Please share this article if yu found value in it.
