The following is a list of some of the more common roadblocks that can keep you from seeing what is real. Loyalty to one martial art. He lives only in what is. Most styles claim to hold the entire truth of combat, but as I have already discussed, a style will hold the individual truth of the founder, not necessarily your truth. Ethnocentrism, pride and ego.
Pride is a double-edged sword.
Being proud of your accomplishments is one thing, but too much pride can cloud your vision. It is also something you will have to swallow when the truth is eventually discovered. Ego is the result of too much pride. Its only purpose is to be bruised. When you are full of yourself, there is no more room for anything else.
