What’s your vision of the ultimate martial-arts master? 

Do you ever think beyond the martial aspect of mastery?

Maybe it was TV and movie propaganda. Maybe, I developed this stereotype from the comic books and action adventures that I read.

In my head, a martial arts master had more than just kung fu skills.

These were the wise men (and women) who could offer life advice. They knew a lot about a lot. (I didn’t have any religious connections in mind. A master was a master, whether “monkish” or not.)

Mastery of the martial arts and life, in my opinion, didn’t (and doesn’t) depend on religious affiliation, race, gender, or any physical trait.

Mastery was about someone who had worked at linking mind to body. And in so working on the martial arts, they gained a lot of life perspective….

The real benefits of Martial Arts practice are quite a bit more intense than most people understand. Most people, you see, study Shaolin or Kenpo for a couple of years, and they are just tapping into the real benefits of the martial arts. Then they lose their way because marriage or kids, their only involvement is really through seeing people like Jackie Chan or Jet Li, and their path has effectively ended.
