Be yourself
From birth, a person begins to study the world around him and himself, knowledge and practice give him confidence in himself and his abilities. Gradually, moving from simple to complex, from lower to higher, he tempers his character and finds strength of spirit, gains self-confidence and eventually becomes himself. Having chosen a life path and working on himself, we gradually learn to control ourselves, try in every way to get rid of everything that prevents us from living and creating. Life path and knowledge give us power over our actions and our emotions, give us a sense of self-control. To own and control oneself means to always maintain peace of mind, regardless of the situation. Being oneself is like a habit that is given to a person practically with genetics. You can teach a person to move, teach a person the technique and tactics of combat horting, but if courage and character are not genetically inherent in him, then no coach will put this into him. Controlling your emotions and actions means taking care of your physical and spiritual health, being in harmony with yourself. It is no secret that it is this state that allows you not to fall into depression, to fight and overcome human ailments and weaknesses. After training classes, when you really want to drink, students are always recommended not to drink liquid for half an hour, although the body asks for it. This is not only harmful to health, but also contributes to the development of such qualities in a person as neediness and lack of will. Having started to drink, you do not notice how, while getting pleasure, you become weaker in spirit, unable to maintain a simple drinking regimen.
Abstaining from weaknesses and bad habits is always a manifestation of strength of spirit and self-control. At first, you can learn to control your physical and mental state through consciousness and breathing. Mastering the breathing system allows you to maintain a balance of calm and equilibrium in the body, helps to control the psyche and behavior not only in normal conditions, but also in extreme situations. Every experienced trainer - a strong-willed and trained in the traditions of combat horting - can tell about his life and his path. He will tell how much he had to work to achieve any result, find true friends, students and at the same time manage to preserve his health, his family and family relationships. In the most difficult years, when the country was experiencing an economic downturn and crisis, everyone rushed to earn money, do business, but experienced trainers remained true to themselves and their path, continued to train, gather young men and women around them in gyms and educate young people. I must say that the gyms were not as comfortable as they are now, but simply a territory under the roof, a training ground. And it was in such simple halls that real fighters were brought up, finally convinced of the correctness of their path and invincible athlete-warriors, for whom it did not matter in what conditions to train, but the main thing was to maintain combat training, improve technique and communicate with like-minded people. The difficulties they experienced, remaining themselves, only hardened them. They remained themselves even when everything around them was against them and their activities. At that time, offers to solve material problems were possible, in return for committing dishonest acts and participating in various kinds of fraud. In those days, one had to endure anything. But listening to this, one is overwhelmed with a sense of pride for these experienced people who remained trainers and continue to teach young people. No matter what, each of them remained a person, was in the ranks of combat horting, on the path of combat horting, remained themselves.
But what is happening in modern society? Try asking a normal person what our current dominant ideology is. After all, no one knows in detail, although everyone suspects. However, the fact that we do not notice it does not mean that it does not exist. Moreover, it is precisely what we do not know in detail that leads to certain thoughts. Ignorance, as is known, does not exempt from responsibility. Even in such conditions, students of combat horting must know how to remain themselves. In general, for people living in the field of a certain ideology, it is natural and imperceptible, like the air they breathe. But even simple logic suggests that only another ideology can win a war in one ideology. It is simply that the destructive personal ideology of general consumption is not as noticeable as totalitarian or religious ideologies, but the essence does not change from this. In modern life, personal benefit often outweighs moral values. The purpose of any ideology is to take away a person's free will, replacing it with programmed actions strictly within certain limits. Understanding the mechanisms by which modern ideology manipulates consciousness is the main condition for human freedom in our era and the purpose of the philosophy of combat horting to help its students. A person is instilled day and night that inner comfort and social status are determined not by reason, character or honesty, but exclusively by property status. The number of things necessary for life increases in geometric progression. Interestingly, it is no longer the thing itself that matters, but its brand and the amount of money paid for it. But being yourself means taking a balanced approach to your needs, living according to rational and correct principles, you cannot let benefits take control of yourself.
Modesty and kindness are what characterize people who always remain themselves, these are their inherent qualities of life. They never lose their strength of spirit and nobility, they retain true positive human qualities to the end. In difficult years, they planted seeds and now it has already borne fruit. Their students, who have already grown up and found their place in life, have remained faithful to their outstanding coaches. As a sign of devotion and love, they constantly maintain contact with them, congratulate them on holidays, give gifts, spend time together, and some continue to attend combat horting classes, setting an example for the new young generation of combat horting athletes. Young combat horting students admire these people and are proud of them, they have shown others what it means to be and remain themselves. Our life is so complicated that sometimes it is simply impossible to resist weaknesses and temptations. Material values and benefits control us, can corrupt a young person and push them to do bad things. A person increasingly ceases to be himself, he does not know himself, where to go and what to strive for, floating with the flow of circumstances and life, cannot resist and fight, becoming weak and helpless. But the students of combat horting, the youth who came to the gyms, have something to be proud of. They are proud of their coaches, I am proud that all generations of their students have become strong and noble people, they are the example that others emulate.
Our path is combat horting, and this is the path of struggle, the path of education and improvement of a person, where the main goal is the person himself. According to the philosophy of combat horting, it is necessary to remain yourself in any dangerous situations, to keep calm and composure in your soul even when you are attacked. This control is the same victory over yourself that is being talked about, only now, having such control and a free consciousness controlling your body, you can confidently apply the combat horting technique. After all, now you do not see before you an evil and terrible enemy who wants to destroy you, erase you. You see in the attacker a faceless silhouette sent to you by the universe to test your strength of spirit. Before you is a person who is mistaken, wishing bad things to another person, that is, you, he does not know the truth and therefore does not know what he is doing, a person who needs help. You do not feel fear of the threat, but compassion for this living creature, which behaved recklessly, and which will later have to pay for its impoliteness. Thus, you can consider it your duty not only to protect your life, but also to protect your opponent from further problems in life, and his meeting with you will become for him a necessary lesson, but also a difficult experience. You use the aggression of a person to neutralize aggression, which can harm both you and the attacker himself. And the result of the impact on the attacker's health depends entirely on his further behavior towards you. The range of such impact can range from a simple apology, a frank explanation, and even to mutilation.
Being yourself is the main guideline, the main result on the path of combat horting. There has always been a struggle with the inner world, but everyone can overcome their fears and achieve great heights! Combat horting is not only a fight, a duel, victory or defeat, but also a rich cultural heritage of powerful past generations, a high culture of each individual, which is reflected in the general cultural level of society as a whole. One could even say that it is a philosophy in which each person will be able to find something of their own. And if a person always remains himself, professes these simple and reliable principles of the path of combat horting, he becomes a beautiful and interesting person, with whom it is interesting to deal in any sphere of life.
