"As important as martial arts are in our fight, it is not what will lead us to victory. Your mind is your strongest weapon and the education you provide it is essential to your goals. Combat sports, however, can be the foundation of the mindset needed to understand modernity, and resist it. When you commit to training, you will not want to jeopardize your ability to perform to your potential. You will think twice before eating slop, or poisoning yourself with drugs of any kind. In addition to this, the contrast between the modern person, and yourself will become more clear. You will see, and feel the changes in your body, and you will recognize just how unhealthy you are. You will see the hoards of people who do what you used to do, and recognize the almost half awake state they are in. They know not what they are doing; but they are just doing it. They wonder why they feel depressed, alone, tired, sluggish, and generally unhealthy. You will also recognize that many of the things you used to cherish and revile are not as important as you once thought. Modernity has convinced those who are of it that small trespasses are the same as large ones. Small mistakes made in ignorance are overblown, and placed on the same level as murder. Made up concepts, and the redefining of known ones, are thrown around constantly as if rules in some form of game. These ideas are understood to not only be incorrect, but also do not matter to the man who has embraced the legionary spirit." - Will2Rise
