Martial / Art
Before we learned to write, we learned to fight. Across the globe and for thousands of years, humanity has developed numerous martial teachings with deep-rooted similarities: dedication, sacrifice, thought, precision, respect for the opposition. They combine the practice of the spirit with the body, and their movement becomes second nature.
This idea led us to take a closer look at these arts. We gathered fighters of all ages, groups, methods and beliefs, and placed them in one arena.
Outside of the regular context the practice of these groups raises a new proposal for a relevant discussion: is art a martial theory? How can the practice of martial art create peace? How can we convert our energy to the really important places?
