Mountain Spirit Strategy

[Alan Armstrong]

Mountain strategy:

Is there really a mountain strategy, going onwards and upwards perhaps?

I believe the mountain strategy is better described as similar to mountaineering.

As they the mountaineers hold the spirit of the mountain in them, by relying and depending on each other for their mutual survival.

This mountaineering spirit could be used especially well in the dojo.

As each person has the opportunity to help each other and also reach higher ground simultaneously on a personal level with a cooperative spirit.

Mountain people are not known to be pushovers, they are however known to be able to survive and thrive in places that have been difficult for most people to endure.

Their skills the mountaineers, are survival orientated not for decoration or for show.

Something modern day martial artists might want to re-evaluate this aspect more carefully.

Do you have a mountaineering spirit that can help to make you reach higher ground and at the same time also helps others?

The only thing that I can tell you about the mountain is this. If I have faith, I can command that mountain to move, and it will obey. With that same faith, nothing is impossible...NOTHING!!
