Martial arts and spirituality. What does that even mean? This is a question almost all of us ask. But few of us ever get any real answers. Some say it's mixing religions such as Christianity or Islam with martial arts. Some think it's dressing up in flowing clothes, spouting koans, and seeming esoteric. Some say it's simply, "a bunch of crap".
However I believe It isn't any of these things.

Sparring is needed in martial arts. It is one of, if not the best way, to try and apply the basic principles and techniques you practise for hours on end, against an opponent who is doing his best to resist.
The level of contact which is needed when striking should also be given considerable thought. Although full contact techniques will quickly teach you how to give and receive blows and
Throughout the years, many martial art schools state that some of the main reasons of learning martial arts is to actually become more humble, relaxed and to be less aggressive.

Sometimes, I really wonder about this. At the end of the day, it all comes down to simply being aware. Aware of your surroundings. Aware of higher threat environments, times and places.

Whilst on a martial arts forum I came across the thread “What is a Black Belt and who deserves it” The thread author answered his own question with,
“To me a BB [black belt] is a representation of knowledge over application. That may seem strange considering that I have stated in other posts that I adhere to the "Smash Mouth" MA dictionary. However, my argument for this is simple.
I am a student of the Salem Bando Club, a school of the American Bando Association. I'm getting back in shape to get my black belt (I went to college before I was old enough to get it)and after that I plan to perfect the style that I've learned.
