The full text of "Martial Arts Training":

Those who follow martial ethics are the sects of martial arts. The ancients said: Learn etiquette before you learn arts; learn virtue before you learn martial arts. Those who lack virtue should not be taught. Those who attend funerals cannot be taught martial arts. Practitioners should not seek profit but uphold justice, and should not be afraid of strength but sacrifice themselves. You should keep your word and practice it a thousand times, and you must be good at it all the time. Normally, I should be as open-minded as possible, and strive for excellence in my mind. Persistence is a noble martial virtue. Use martial arts to strengthen your body, and cultivate your character with virtue.

Translation of "Martial Arts Training":

Martial ethics are the innate conditions for martial arts teachers and practitioners. In other words, only a person who takes martial ethics as his purpose can be broad-minded and capable. Only when one can absorb and store energy, which is said to absorb hundreds of rivers and merge into the sea, can a new forbidden land be opened up. A martial artist who attaches great importance to martial ethics will be able to advance and retreat freely under any circumstances, even if he has to pass through the underworld of the King of Hell. . ?

Martial virtues, as early as the "Zuo Zhuan" written by Zuo Qiuming in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a discussion of "Seven martial virtues". In the future, with the development of the times, the meaning of martial ethics will continue to change and develop. In the past, most martial arts creeds included "respecting teachers and respecting morality, being filial and righteous, helping the poor and the poor, eradicating violence and bringing peace to the good", "asking for advice humbly, treating others humbly, and helping others", and "preventing arrogance, extravagance and lewdness".

Each martial arts school also has its own "rules", "commandments" and "precepts", as well as "three no-passes", "five no-passes" and "ten don'ts". "Do not pass on" as well as "Eight Commandments" and "Ten Keys" as standards of martial ethics. Today, many scholars have summarized martial virtues. Some scholars believe that martial virtues are "the spirit of advocating martial arts and advocating virtues." Some scholars believe that martial virtues are "a kind of virtue." Some scholars believe that martial virtues are "the embodiment of martial arts." morality".

The 1987 National Martial Arts Academic Symposium summarized the norms of martial arts as "advocating martial arts, respecting morality, and cultivating one's moral character." These all summarize martial ethics from different aspects, but martial ethics is actually a kind of ethics, so we should define martial ethics from the perspective of Neo-Confucianism.

We believe that martial ethics are the moral norms and moral qualities that people who engage in martial arts activities should follow in social activities. In short, it is martial arts ethics. "Tao" generally refers to the laws of movement and change of things, and is extended to the social code of conduct, rules or norms that people must follow; "virtue" is to obtain, people understand "Tao" and follow "Tao", gain internally with themselves, and apply externally. Being with others is called "virtue".

"Tao" mainly refers to an external requirement, while "morality" refers to the inner spiritual sentiment or state. The word "morality" is used together for the first time in Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning" chapter: "Therefore, learning ends with etiquette, and this is called the ultimate morality."
