The other side of the coin of Martial Arts

The other side of the coin.

Just as in modern times a warriors training is inclusive of developing a mental toughness and intrinsic methods of coping with harsh psychological phenomenon that is a part of martial engagement the old world methods of martial training also included such training though for the most part this aspect is ignored in the west as to not offend the sensibilities of the student. The prayers, words of power or incantations etc.., used to center, strengthen the mind and or trigger biological processes of survival are part of the other side of the coin of training and represent the source of the various systems as a whole which is often referred to as the internal art.
