Martial Arts Quotes
"A black belt is nothing more than a belt that goes around your waist. Being a black belt is a state of mind and attitude."
This is one of the many martial arts quotes by Rick English that defines Martial Arts in one sentence.
What is martial art?
Martial Art is a tradition of combat, practised for various reasons
like self-defence, competition, etc. More importantly, it is a tool for
physical, mental and spiritual development. Even though it is known as a
combat technique, martial arts also draws upon breathing and relaxation
techniques called Systema.
Different countries and cultures
have different variations of martial arts. While gatka is a Sikh
weapon-based martial art, aikido is a Japanese martial art which is
rooted in the Zen philosophical beliefs.
THE ERA OF THE MACHINE ENDS!
The
era of massive fields of cardio equipment and warehouses of strength
training machines may still be dominant in extreme-fee globo-gyms, but
people have been rapidly discovering the problems inherent in these
membership-driven agendas.
Moving freely and powerfully like the mythical John Henry, without
machine control, we develop true functional fitness through movement,
not merely muscles. This is how in our system, we’ve ELIMINATED injuries
in federal agencies, where injuries are usually high, and where
physical conditioning is an absolute job requirement.

Benefits:
Practising martial arts has various benefits. This is also reflected in
the martial arts quotes by famous people. It is a technique which
requires a high level of concentration and focus along with stamina.
During martial arts training, the whole body is exercised and gives a
boost to the strength, flexibility and movement of an individual.
Apart from the physical benefits, martial arts also have many mental
benefits. They improve self-esteem, control and emotional and spiritual
aspects of an individual. If one goes through the martial arts quotes by
the people who have learnt them for ages will reflect a focus on the
physical as well as the mental and spiritual well-being where the main
objective is to fight with a sword.
One of the many martial
arts quotes by Bruce Lee reflects how it is important to empty one’s
mind and be formless and shapeless, like water.
One martial arts
quotes says that if you cannot beat your computer in chess then try
kick-boxing which clearly highlights the importance of martial arts to
the mind, body and spirit.
Variety in Martial Arts:
Centuries before Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan popularised martial arts in
the West, there were some forms of Martial Arts already entrenched in
their culture. Archery, wrestling, sword fighting and boxing are some of
the martial arts forms that originated in the West. Ed Parker was a
popular martial arts trainer in America. He was responsible for some of
the most famous martial arts quotes in the West.
Martial Arts
can be divided on the basis of traditional or contemporary; by
application; regional origin and by the techniques taught. There are
certain weapons-based and hand-to-hand combat martial arts too. The
hand-to-hand combat is taught in the armies.
It is interesting
to note that all the martial arts quotes by several people who have
practised it for various years reflect the use of weapons as commanding
one’s own ego rather than the enemy. In fact, many martial arts quotes
reflect how the sword was considered similar to the mind.
Martial Arts Industry:
Taekwondo, judo, karate and various forms of martial arts have become
popular. People who teach them have flourished and it has also become a
sport. Judo, boxing and archery are some of the sports that are a part
of the Olympics.
Not only is the art, but the equipment that
goes with it has led to an industry coming up. However, one may master
the art but a true person who knows martial arts, also knows how to
control his or her mind. One of the martial arts quotes by Duk Sung Son
states that only 5% with the TaeKwonDo training stick with it till they
get the Black Belt. About 80% stop there.
