It's a philosophy of life
They kick, punch, lock and hold with mind and body. They must have knowledge, but they must also feel it. They are intellectually and physically disciplined. They are masters of martial arts. Martial arts are considered complex combat systems that are balanced by the fundamental unity of body and mind, spirit and matter, male and female, and Yin and Yang with the universe.
Because they are based on this harmony, they don't promote the defeat of the opponent. During a combat, their goal is to neutralize an attack by any means, as rapidly as possible.

In Chico, Calif., some cultures are being perpetuated through the practice of the Ju-Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do and Karate.
