Trust

Trust is everything. No more so than in the martial arts field when it encompasses self-defense, fighting and combatives. Trust is the cornerstone to the survival of human kind. Trust is paramount in the dojo as well especially in the arena of jutsu.

In the dojo and is the tribe the survival process must be based on a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, and strength of someone, another human interacting with you. 

It is a relationship, two or more individuals up to the group, whereby all involved can rely on the truth, ability and strength of the other(s). It is a firm reliance on the character, as displayed by their reliance, truth, ability and strength, of others to foster knowledge in the martial arts. 

Martial arts are a physically oriented culture and discipline where practitioners study the skills of combat while striving to unify the body, mind and spirit with technique; development of the kind of character that is morally correct; a method of gaining self-perfection. Something that will contribute to the group, the dojo, the tribe for prosperity and harmony. 

Trust in training, practice and application of martial systems is necessary for growth both internally and externally. With out trust you have competition with winners and losers. Trust promotes mutual advancement in the arts as in life to the equal benefit of both or all practitioners.
