Practice for....

As martial artists, we constantly practice to better ourselves and to refine our technique. We spend hour after hour, day after day pushing our bodies and minds to their limit. We get good, we get better, we improve and learn more and more all the time.

But what is it that we practice for?

We all have many different reasons and goals to participate and practice, but when do we simply "do" martial arts.... when do we simply "be" martial arts?

For this, I have no answer. I can only show you where to walk on this journey, but you must take the steps yourself. Let this be less of an opinion, and more of a call to action, that you may ponder your reasons for uptaking this lifestyle and answer the question for yourself.....

Why do I practice martial arts?
