Mission Statement Who We Are Why MWAU?
"The Modern Warrior Arts Union is based upon the power and meaning of each individual word as well as the words together:Modern-dedicated to the fact... we live in modern times and due to that given fact,Our respective arts must have some relevance to modern times and modern society. irregardless to the designation of a given art being Classical,traditional,eclectic or mixed, all martial arts must have some relative meaning in a "modern" vernacular Irregardless of the terminology or vocabulary or cultural language utilized in said given art, We are in modern times and apply our arts accordingly.
The second word is Warrior. Although in modern western influenced terminology, we refer to WAR as being a practitioner of war and therefore and thereby are violent beings by our practice of that endeavor. However, we are in fact not devotee...s to the philosophy of Ares or Mars, But rather embrace the oriental concept that as warriors, it is up to us to contribute to the cessation of violence, not to promote violence for violence's sake.Upon the Massachusetts state house wall these words are engraved "pacifism is a luxury only afforded to warriors" We, as warriors who embrace the warrior ethic,can easily afford to be men of peace because we have the skills,talents and abilities to choose to be violent in a spirit of self defense when the situation arises and furthermore to choose actively the level of response to said situation. These choices are ours as warriors to stop the violence as we see fit and to address our adversaries as opponents or as misguided individuals who do not deserve our righteous fury but our benevolent compassion. Truly,let us "seek the way of peace through the arts of war"!
The third word is Arts. Far too often, ignorant non practitioners who dedicate themselves to other artistic expressions cannot relate to us as Martial ARTISTS and do not understand that we are artists who "forge our spirits in the fire of i...ron will" We create ourselves through the self sacrifice,self discipline, and self introspection & reflection of what we have become due to our studies of our respective art or arts.To be a master artist one must create a masterpeice. A peice of work or body of work that stands the test of time. Every time we train or study, We as artists strive to create said masterpiece within ourselves and as teachers, we atively seek to share our art with others who can appreciate "The beauty of the art". We further understand as artists that "Beauty isin the eye of the beholder" so therefore there are many diverse arts that you may see your own beauty within the multi fasceted gem that we know as the martial arts. If our ody is a temple, then let it become an art museum, were we can exhibit our various masterpieces of art fro those who will pay to see it and appreciate the arts for what they are...art.
The last word is Union. If we, as Warriors living in modern times and practicing our given arts choose of our own volition to unite and unify for the common cause to share our knowledge & skills for he common good in union of common good for the common man or woman then we seek the perfect union of mind,body and spirit [as depicted on the tomoe/triskelion in the center of our crest] and to cognizant and aware of the premises of correct attitude,then we unite for the betterment of ourselves,our students and all humankind
We are the Modern Warrior Arts Union by choice and devoted endorsing those who choose this path for their life. O Sensei Morihei Uyeshiba stated "The highest level of BUDO is love" Let us as modern warriors who love what we do, embrace these common words for the common good and unification of of arts that we warriors practice in modern times.
