Elements of Defense for a New Age

By Justin Rawson

Democracy puts everyone on equal standing. No particular person defends another person in a world of democracy. There is no warrior caste or system of knights. No one is stronger than the other. What does this say for defending oneself from violence? The weak are exposed in a world of democratic countries with no one in particular to protect them. The situation argues new things for the study of nonviolence. A whole new system of thought for martial arts is necessary today. The solution is an entirely new thing.

ELEMENTS OF MARTIAL THEORY

Elements of martial theory

T HIS IS ABOUT the elements of martial theory. How does one address the violent acts and activities of the world, in the cause of non violence? This is an attempt to address that topic.
