While having lunch and talking with Christine, the conversation turned into sharings of different martial arts. In the back of my mind, I am always proud to be Asian and that the culture of this region promotes martial arts.
Boyet was talking about Aikido being spiritual in form. He said that traditional Aikido do not use offense and mostly the movements are to help defend yourself by shifting and flowing movements. While Christine mentioned about "Kalimasada" martial arts from Indonesia. Her father teaching beginners three times a week. Kalimasada is a non-contact martial arts but very powerful. Without lifting a finger, someone was able to make the snatcher give them back their things.
Today as I reflect upon warriors and martial arts, I realized that prayer indeed is very powerful. There is no need for physical strength or contact, only focused mind and heart. We need not be martial arts students to be able to help others in need. Who knows what goes on when we pray for others? I could only imagine the pure energy that prayer warriors exude.
