I was saddened to read this article (The Sun Online) on a martial artist who claimed disability to the tune of $66,000. For shame. A person who walks the path of martial arts should strive to improve their character at the same time. With greater power comes greater responsibility, as the saying goes, and it’s all too easy to walk a dark path when that happens. This is why it’s not good to suffer your character in other aspects of your life. It’s true that people do not necessarily consider martial arts education as an ethical education as well. However, I personally see it as a quite necessary aspect. If your training doesn’t also improve your character, then perhaps your training is incomplete.
