of those who practice them. The practice of a martial arts is not meant to make you more aggressive, but to teach you a non-confrontational attitude about life.

 

This is not to say that a skilled martial artist could not destroy an attacker if such action is needed. All of the arts have hidden in them the means to take a life. Make no mistake, life is full of danger.

 

If you're insecure and afraid, your own fear may prevent you from being able to dissipate a physical or verbal confrontation.
