Becoming a Good Steward of Martial Arts
Becoming a Good Steward of Martial Arts: The World Budo Alliance is about bringing the martial arts community together, uniting it. It is about bringing back the values of old into our Dojo's and our teaching.
Becoming a Good Steward of Martial Arts means that the students in your world come first. Not the politics of self promotion and ego. Teaching without prejudice to those who truly do want to learn.
Now myself I am very particular as to who I would teach my root art of Hon Sang Mu Sa Hapkido too, as well as Kosho Ryu in the real world. And there is nothing wrong with that. But there needs to always be an honesty about this.
What is the WBA
The WBA is not a place for "martial sport." There are enough organizations to support them. And I also do NOT consider MMA to be martial arts. Just as some consider boxing to be a martial art I disagree. It does not meet the criteria for the term.
The WBA is also not a place of politics and giant egos. We all have egos, but self control and self disciple, tenets of the arts, means we keep them under control. And while we will be dealing with promotion in rank, the rank must be justified. We will not be promoting 10 year veterans to 10th Dan Black Belts.
Becoming a Good Steward of Martial Arts
Becoming a Good Steward of Martial Arts is about teaching what you know, sharing the knowledge with others. This is the ONLY path to martial art mastery. You learn by teaching. Winning competitions is "cute" but purely based on the ego. And it is a game for the young also. But it is a game.
Teaching of the martial arts is about not just the teaching of punching and kicking. But the values, morals and tenets that should always lead the teaching. They are arts of peace, a preparation for the possibility of future battles if tyranny should arise. This is one reason today that the tradition martial arts voices like myself are being censored.
Martial Art training is a path of life. Teaching students to become good people, strong people, focused people. Not ideologies spouting out the things they have "heard" stroking their own egos with false self importance.
Martial artists are not victims, they are warriors. Understanding life is a challenge to be met. Not looking for a "save place" to hide from life.
