Passage from "Martial Arts Teaching Tales" of Power and Paradox

THE ART OF STOPPING THE SPEAR

The true martial arts should not be mistaken for a simple combat sport.  A rudimentary sign or a symbol can often express what a long speech cannot.  The ideograms designating the martial arts are identical in China and Japan; only the pronunciations are different.  The Chinese say Wu Shu, and the Japanese say Bujitsu.  The translation "martial art," or "the art of combat," is a partial betrayal of the spirit of the original ideogram, which can be broken down into two characters meaning "to stop" and "spear."  First conceived of as the "art of stopping the spear," the martial arts still derive much of their essential meaning from this original definition, all the more so since the formula can be interpreted simultaneously as the "art of stopping the spear from one's adversary" and the art of stopping one's own spear."  It is the great art of outer pacification and inner harmony.
