Extremely good thoughts about importance of presence in now. Thank you. But I also think, to be totally creative, totally free in creation process - fighter must be creator of the martial art itself. It’s hard for me to believe that martial art can be created from pre learned moves. On my subjective opinion any move inside of martial art must be created from personal understanding of motion, of levers that create that motion. The way that all that levers interact with each other. From understanding how inertia and other forces flows through the body, flows through the motion, through the mind. It’s good to increase personal understanding with help of others experience but first of all it’s completely individual process. I believe that every martial artist must create his own martial art from his attempts of understanding body as an physical instrument, as a weapon. Attempts to understand it with empty mind, understand it honestly. Only if fighter will be developer of martial art - he will be able to create absolutely freely in the moment. To develop action using everything that available in the moment of action. I believe that every fighter must achieve the point when he realize that he is not a fighter, he is martial art itself. If every fighter will be the developer first of all - fighters will stop paying too much attention to competing, they will lose fear of defeat and all negative aspects connected with fighting will gone. Because only development and expressing will matter. They will not disrespect the opponent, cause will be grateful for any experience that helps them to develop their art. They will be grateful from understanding that opponents risking their health to give them opportunity to express their martial art. I saw many fighters who stopping to develop as soon as they become champions. When domination is the motive of fighter - he will stop to grow as soon as he will feed that need to dominate. On my opinion the way of martial art must be beyond of the sport, beyond of any title, any domination. Because sooner or later we will achieve that level of power that we will be not able to test it with the opponents honestly, cause risks for opponents health will be too high. I mean in my subjective understanding this road will be infinite. What can be more interesting than art that must be physical effective)) Maximum honestly and free expression from one point, and maximum reflection of world, harmony with the existence, with the physical processes from the other. Sorry that I get too far. I was just exited that I found the person who will understand my feelings about it. With all respect. Sorry for my bad english.
