Default re: The Martial Philosophy Q&A

Interesting.
Do you think that its possible to overcome this hesitation due to ethical considerations through training or will the "moral" (for lack of a better word) person always be doomed when meeting an opponent of equal skill and physical attributes yet no mental hesitation.

This leads me to another question: Would you consider the person with intention to cause violence different than that of someone simply defending themselves but with no moral convictions whatsoever in terms of capacity to triumph in a physical altercation?

Thank you for your time on these questions, I have never had the opportunity to pick the brain of a psychologist.

cheers,

bamboo
