The Enlighted Warrior


Please note this post will updated with latest and more detailed info... (when I have more time...)

When one understands the Highest Level of Martial Arts, One realizes that Its pointless to fight and Non-Violence is the only way real way to maintain peace among Humans...

The Enlighten Warrior is one who knows the "Art of Defending without Fighting"...
Thus Enlightened Warriors are not necessarily those with Superior Physical Martial Art Skills, but are those with Superior Mental and Spiritual Skills...

The best examples of "Enlightened Warriors" with their famous Quotes:
