“Martial arts” is such a broad term. Some martial arts DO have teaching of inner peace and some don’t. Some martial arts are taught solely for self-defense purposes. Some martial arts are simply used as a form of exercise and getting in shape. Some were orinally created as a way to kill people. It really isn’t one or the other.
