Fitness (health, nutrition, stamina, flexibility, endurance)
Skill (technique, form, flow, harmonies)
Spirit - Mental Fortitude (intensity, attitude, perspective, outlook, approach, tenacity)
I've always know that each of these elements exist in martial arts, but what hit me this week was how each of them is dependent on, and integral to the next.
Fitness without skill, skill without spirit, spirit without health, technique without endurance, approach without harmonies - etc... None of these things make sense without the next.
I realize as I write this that I just took the 6 harmonies, expanded it, gave it a bunch of other names and then tied them back together again.
There must be something to it.
