Holistic Martial Arts

Currently, as my perceptions indicate, the martial arts are a distinct set of systems or styles and they concern those laws or basics that they operate within those systems or styles. The laws or basics are not applicable to other systems or styles.

In order to make the martial arts whole and "one" it takes recognition of one law whose expression is both a dialectical harmonization of yin-yang within each system and style that is unifying of all the parts that exist into one.

Until then each system or style will remain antagonistic and separate with conflict between one another but to assimilate the common thread of the fundamental principles of martial systems creates a bonding agent pulling all the systems and styles into one common culture and belief systems that promote unity as a whole holistic symbiotic martial system. It creates a harmonious whole, wholehearted martial art.

Modern karate-ka have this image of karate that lacks a universal theme through and integrating all its systems and styles, this is a means to overcome this limitation.
