As I sit here in hospital awaiting surgery to eradicate an unwanted kidney stone, I’m feeling a little vulnerable because this is the first time in my life I’ve ever really been so unwell as to require surgery. This sense of vulnerability gave rise to the thoughts in this post.

Paxtial Arts offers a larger perspective that you can take everywhere. Take it for what it is worth. You don’t have to be convinced of it but it can be like scratching at the back of your mind when you are seeking a deeper understanding of the world and your place in it.

Immersing yourself in this field of study will deepen your awareness and enhance your consciousness.  And when you have experienced this you are then encouraged not to teach or convince others, but rather to share with others what you have realised.

Humans are oriented to conflict. In the modern history of martial arts have we really gotten anywhere, or are we still arguing about who got it right? Have you ever noticed how divisive or even polarising different martial arts “styles” or organisations are, even within their own ranks? This is because their essence is tribal. There is an. “In group” and an “out group”. Through these individual belief systems we come to understand the world through conflict rather than contrast. Separation orientates you to conflict.

When you understand life in this way you are living under threat because you are living in a small world. You think you have the correct answers because you can’t hear any other answers. It’s the old adage of “Don’t bother me with the facts, I’ve already made up my mind”.  There are no one size fits all answers.

Paxtial Arts is an open dialogue that offers an introduction to a deeper conversation centred on expanding awareness and increasing human potential. Paxtial Arts allows your imagination to graduate to a higher level of consciousness to discover that the true source of peace lies within one’s own soul. Why? Because you take that with you wherever you go.

The Way of Paxtial Arts is by discovery, participation, and feeling. These attractions lay naturally within you, not instructed to you and are therefore authentic - they are already in you and will arise spontaneously.
