Training Like a Warrior

I enjoyed this post at Pencak Silat Blogspot. I think it intelligently discusses one of the aspects of the martial arts that is sometimes hard to come to grips with, which is that while your training might provide enjoyment, exercise, and spiritual insight it also has to be done with a certain violent intent. My Sifu has said in the past that if you're not training with the idea of aggressiveness in mind, you might as well be playing basketball.
