Martial Arts for awakening

[Davino]

I started training taekwondo some months ago. It has been such a synergetic activity with my god-realization path, I wanted to share it with all of you. Martial arts have allowed me to really go to the core of survival and ego in ways no other activity has done, at least in the long run and not just glimpses, very consistently. To be in a combat and fighting against a black belt when I just started taekwondo was a very deep spiritual experience. The primal fear, biological kind of fear triggered in all my body, absolute no-mind state, just alive at that moment to save your ass and the dance between the fighters, the chemicals and emotions in your body, all of that in absolute peak to survive. Really sublime and destroys all your concepts about how much you know yourself, or the ego or even your own body.

Not only that, but to consciously repeat this activity again and again, week over week. To go beyond the fear of death, but also of getting beaten up to death with a great deal of suffering and pain, is a profoundly liberating technique. When you are in a fight, those 5minute where time disappears, you don't even know your mum, where you are, you don't even know your name, those things do not even arise at all. It's an integrated atomic pure survival, your most primal existence, like an animalistic DNA triggering from within that purges your core being in all planes. I have discovered that fighting for your life is a unique, incomparable state of consciousness that cannot be accessed fully by any other means. Although mushrooms+MDMA can give you a little glimpse if both substances peak together. 

Even though, I just started some months ago, I find it now almost impossible to fully wake up without martial arts. Otherwise, the level of psychological almost archeological work combined with extreme sports would take me decades. I just have found an amazing shortcut to understand survival in practice and a consistent way to go beyond the fear of death, pain and suffering.

Moreover, if you practice kundalini or kriya yoga, I can say that Taekwondo synergizes beautifully with those practices. It will also make you powerful and fearless in your everyday life.
