A True Martial Artist Is A Man Of A Noble Mind Poem by Daya Nandan

A true martial artist is a man of a noble mind,
Who helps people in need with every chance he can find,
A true martial artist is a man who almost never fights,
Unless faced with a threat or a rabid bear that bites,

For trained fighters are patient and never misuse their skills,
For the knowledge they hold can easily cause 100 kills,
With their knowledge of the human body & it's vital points,
They could easily deliver blows and effortlessly break joints,

Their knowledge of weapons and understanding of the human mind,
Will allow them to predict your moves so weaknesses they can find,
Do not engage against these men with a gun or knife,
For they have been trained to disarm you and take your life,

And yet with all this knowledge most choose to teach,
The art and discipline that comes with fighting to put goals within reach,
They help their students, teach them to believe they all can,
Reach their life goals and ultimately for each to become a better man,
