“Darkness Is Confused by LIGHT!”

The 21st Century is indeed a true time of transformation if there ever was. The Word of GOD encourages us to not be conformed by this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds. NO! this is not a so-called religious article but hwhat greater wordds can there be quoted if not the WORD of GOD, as I have always been taught and not only understand to be true but accept to be a gudie in a confused generation. Darkness, or false teaching of any subject matter will always be confused, agitated and upheaved by LIGHT shining upon it. Light cannot, will not and shall not agree with the convoluted aspect of brainwashing that Darkness or false teaching presents. Let us apply this principle to the Martial Arts. Traditional Japanese and Chinese Martial Arts, to name only a couple of sources, were created to evolve. They were not created to remain stagnant at all. Yet the laws of nature itself reveals that the same evolutionary process that causes human beings to elevate their understanding and conciousness, if you please, is the same process that maintains that 1+1=2 in any culture and in any community; why? There are specific communications within the language of mathematics that cannot be changed nor denied, if they are denied then only by the most foolsih of us. Therefore because an element of learning may eveolve to a higher plane a deeper dimension than its birthed form, it does not mean that its foundational truth or the “matter of factness” about its basics will ever change. A body in motion must remain in motion unless acted upon by an opposite force. A body in motion cannot change its direction until it comes to a stop whether that stop is for a millisecond or a minute, it must come to a stop, unless acted upon by an opposite force. So what superior mind develops the idea that adding one thing to one thing will give us three things? Just will not be true! Mixed Martial Arts in its truest form is an amalgamation of many fighting methods, yet the form of MMA is still governed by rukles and regulations such as no eye gouging, no groin kicks or strikes to the back of the head or base of the spine etc.

This in and of itself lends if not but a minute measure a semblance of humaneness, and in this aspect I use that word quite loosely. Nevertheless I can not in any level of LIGHT see how this method of SPORT FIGHTING can be called an ART! An art in my humble opinion in reference to the fighting arts is one that develops the human nuature and spiritual nature along with certain mental attriibutes that when executed is beautiful yet effective in its most competitive form. I can execute a technique without causing lethal damge on my opponenet and walk away his or her brother in the arts and not enemy withdarawing from a field of battle. Yet, if I am pressed by life’s impingement of survival at any given second can explode into one or more of those same techniques in its full grandeur and power and swiftly dispatch my adversary without much fanfare. I will not take to the air, and my feet will not go higheer than his waist but the same technique modified through the need of the moment will save my or my loved ones life. Indeed, many may disagree with m,e, however it stands to reason. WHY KYOSHI? Because the darkness is confused by the LIGHT! Please talk back to me, I am very interested in your opinion in this articles content! also visit our Blog at www.changinwinds.us and leave your responses there also. Let us reason together to promote the rich and fulfilling ongoing evoloution of the Martial Arts within a loving and evolving kind community. STOP THE KILLING and RAISE OUR CHILDREN CORRECTLY. If we choose to do any thing less than these two challenges then we and our generations to come will reap the harvest of such folly. Remember “He who sows to the wind shall reap the whirlwind…” Peace and Love, Kyoshi C. Michael Tillman, Sr.
