I've been practicing different Kung Fu styles for a year and am starting to wonder if it's really beneficial to self actualization? It has taught me self discipline, my body's potential, and willpower but is it really necessary? Us learning how to harm others actually useful?

Good point??. Anything can be yoga. Anything can be a mindful meditative experience. Thanks for your advice, mastering weapons sounds super difficult but fun:)

Depends. Lots of people view it as that. I'm not familiar with strict Kung Fu, I'm more familiar with a hollistic combination of the practical parts of different martial arts. Martial arts tend to get a bad rep cause they look all dancey and woo woo but they're pretty badass when you rlly look into them: (these are just movie scenes but this level of fighting does exist in real life)

Thanks for the input! I will continue training. The person who trains me, spars with me, but I haven't been consistent enough to do much of that. Thank you for the input too! I really appreciate it. The guy that teaches me has done decades of research, self experimentation, and compiled a practical fighting system that works really well just takes a lot of work. I love your idea for meditation teachers. I will definitely implement that. A meditative mind is probably what I'm missing.

Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman blends spirituality and a novel together in a beautiful way. Johnathan Livingston Seagull- a short fiction book about a seagull that explores themes of life purpose, flow state, non duality, and love Romeo and Juliet- explores Love, Lust, peace, war, makes you ask alot of philosophical questions if you have the right mindsey

Fighting is beautiful in the sense that is an art form that can be perfected to flow state. It can help you lose your mind and come to your senses. It teaches self discipline, mastery, flow state, etc etc. However, professional fighting mainly feeds the ego and you're hurting another human being, so I recommend fighting as a spiritual practice. Practice MMA or whatever you want to practice and let it bring you closer to Truth. Find a sparring partner who shares this interest and willing improve and to help you improve. You have a lot of passion for this, so I say go for it!!! Avoid real animalistic fights unless absolutely necessary (absolutely necessary scenarios include stopping a rape, self defence, protecting defenseless). Just make sure to bring love into your practice and keep your motivations centered on Truth as much as you can.
