We practise martial arts not to spread violence or uphold it as our preferred response.
Quite the opposite: we do it so we train ourselves to better respond to situations and give ourselves the choice to choose non-violence wherever possible.
But to build this mindset, we need to start by being kinds to ourselves.
Only by this approach can we effectively cultivate an attitude of kindness towards others.
