Alrite we've discussed alot about what is the best m.a. for self -defence, for combat, for this and that.
Now let's talk about something different. What do you think is the best martial arts system's philosophy towards the toughest opponent of all: L.I.F.E.
I give one of them to be Shaolin Kungfu, they practice Zen Buddhism which requires you to constantly ask and seek truth.
e.g. Bruce Lee: " It is like a finger pointing to the moon, if you focus on the finger you'll miss all that heavenly glory..."
This quote was actually adopted from one of the Great Zen Masters of all time, Huineng of the 7th century AD. It means don't be lost during the process, focusing in forms and language, it only provides a guiding direction to the goal, but that is not the goal itself.
Please share your ideas of other m.a., thanks.
