Hey guys
I am leaning far out the window for this post and will probably get ridiculed from quite a few... but anyway here's my question:
Are there still martial art schools that have and teach a spiritual practice without having lost their martial side?
Some years ago I trained under a filipino teacher who was a proper fighter (and fought for real in his youth in SEA) yet he was a deeply spiritual man teaching and living his esoterics (oracion, anting anting, rituals,...). As many won't believe in such things (which is fine with me), but he could produce some weird stuff and would teach aspects of it.
At one point family obligations forced him to go back to the Filippines and I lost contact.
So do you guys know of such a teacher? Can be CIMA or other, the quality is important, not the label!
You can PM me if you like.
Thank you,
