The Journey Of Ten Thousand Miles
Many martial arts today pride themselves on being a “defensive art”. In other words, if someone attacks you, only then do you defend yourself. What if you are confronted by an assailant who you know is about to attack you but hasn’t yet. Let’s say the assailant is still in the “threatening mode”. Do you wait for him to attack? Well, if you follow the philosophy of a defensive art, you must wait…
If you want to survive however, you must attack first.
