"A warrior may choose pacifism. Others are condemned to it." -- Unknown

This quote is probably the reason i decided to take up eskrima. I do not particularly enjoy violence, but watching what is happening in the world around us, i decided i wanted to be able to choose peace. Or if forced into conflict, make the conflict brief, be victorious, and return to enjoying peace. And it seems to me that almost all of the self defense moves i am learning are one move fight enders. Anyway, before i ramble on much further.... I truly appreciate that quote.

"Of every 100 men in battle, 10 should not even be there. 80 are nothing more than targets. 9 of them are fighters, we are lucky to have them, they the battle make. Ah, but the one. One of them is a warrior..... and he will bring the others back."
