How does the Martial Arts build Humility?
A good attitude is the only sign of whether the training is changing a student on the inside as well as on the outside. Internal changes are shown through attitude and appreciation. This attitude should also carry over into the students daily life. Being humble is the first step to gaining true wisdom. Humility in your accomplishments makes it easy to be humble in your challenges as well. Humility is realizing that we all have more to learn. We dont know it all, and we will never know it all when it comes to martial arts. Realizing that each promotion is just another beginning, regardless of rank, encourages a healthy and humble martial arts attitude. A deep and constant appreciation for your instructor and your art, a willingness to never stop leaning, and keeping a meek attitude in spite of your accomplishments all demonstrate sound humility.
