Highest form of Martial Art, what would this be?

* Highest form of Martial Art

Highest form of Martial Art:  The other day I received a comment on a post I have linking my pressure point blog on Linkedin. Now I will be honest, I am not a BIG fan of Linkedin.

It is very "woke" and predatory. But I guess that says the same thing right? Anyways the comment was "thank you for the information, but do you think this suites who you are?"

The article referred to painful pressure points of the face

To my mind this is essentially calling me violent of nature, or a fraud for posting the information. But you see that kind of thing a lot in "society". People will read a few lines of text, or watch a 2 minute video and judge who you are.  I had a man on Facebook attack me over my cane teachings,

Now he apologies when he realized he was dead wrong. However you can perhaps see why i would love to see all Social Media go. It simply does not serve us, but like a drug destroys lives.

But this leads me to the question at hand. What is the primary focus of my teachings? The Art of Self Defense.  That is not beating someone up in a ring. I would like to see that go too. Nor it is about preemptively hurting someone you think might hurt you. When I was much younger I did think that way. 

I teach the Art of Escape first. It is not better to do no harm? To end the conflict without violence or harm to yourself or the other person? This to me is the Highest form of Martial Art

And then if this cannot be accomplished to only do what is necessary to end the conflict? As an example if some throws a punch at me, and I move, then taking control of the arm. Pressing hard at HT-02 and dropping the man to the ground, screaming in pain, have I done harm? Or taught a lesson? There would be no permanent damage from this pressure point activation example.

Could this be done? Possible, when you move correctly and on time. in other words the Highest form of Martial Art.

Do No Harm - Highest form of Martial Art

At its highest form the martial arts should be about escaping, doing no harm. The desire to harm another person without true just cause is a function of pure ego. It is time to become better than this. 

I truly believe in my student creed to "to only fight to protect my life and lives of others." I do not see winning a trophy or revenge in there do you? Many in this "modern" failed society will disagree with me. But karma will be there's. It was Jesus who said "to live by the sword is to die by the sword." That is a modern paraphrase of the quote, non the less true.  I teach a martial art of peace. And it is not about me, but the teachings. Only do harm if there is no other option available. And sometimes that is the case.

Highest form of Martial Art in Conclusion

To my mind this is essentially calling me violent of nature, or a fraud for posting the information. in Conclusion

Highest form of Martial Art: I have been working for a long time to bring the values back into the martial arts. I am not bashing competition, I am however bashing the "fight club" mentality.

You can include sport in your teaches, but do not make it mandatory nor the focus of what you do. 

As long as safety, honour, etiquette, and sportsmanship are a focus. But honestly I have not seen that in decades. 

Perhaps you consider what I am saying to be harsh? But do you think we are currently going in the correct direction? The issue we have worldwide with corruption is not solely the fault of the corrupt. But our fault for allowing it to happen in the first place. And for what end? Smartphones, another car? Allowing our children to be indoctrinated in an EVIL ideology.

Time for the martial arts to grow up, come of age and take it proper place in society. If you are interested in what I teach there is a free course below you can join.
