A martial artist is...

[Oldskulbus]

A martial artist is a warrior not a coward. Living to battle but desiring peace. A champion to his fellows and a scourge to those who hate. A martial artist ignores what is distraction and accepts what is reality. Improving self through diligence and insight as he views the belittlement of others as unnecessary. A martial artist accepts his fears and acknowledges his mortality. A martial artist is calm, direct, and resourceful. A martial artist wins every battle but his last.

Well said.
