Apologies for bumping the thread after 2 months. But i help in
kids martial arts classes. And imo, they really shouldn't be there.
Many of them lack the enthusiasm and spirit of learning. And like
you say, they dunno right from wrong. So most of the time it is the
parents who force them there rather then they volunteer into
it.
If you don't learn martial arts, you'll probably never know
it's ethics involved.
Ethics comes first before you should seek your path in martial
arts.
I agree. to the bottom line, but not the top line. Before you start
on anything, you must ask yourself why you want to learn it. Is it
to protect yourself or to hurt others? And you have to do research.
I have been reading up on quite a few martial arts before i decided
to join mine. You have to see which one suits your personality, and
your needs. Anyway, universal ethics is defend yourself, defend the
people you love and defend the helpless. Unless you are talking
about ninjutsu.
