An Artistic Thought
May 25th, 2006Being a musician and a martial artist most of my life, the corrolations between the two disciplines have been quite obvious:
both are based on influence, intent and mechanics. As a martial artist begins his/her study, focus is on technique and mechanics - delivery and position of punches and correct stance work as in music things like embouchure and scale understanding are important, but only the beginning and serve as the foundation blocks of expression.
The goal in both is for the art to meld with the body and mind - or to have the art serve the physical form as a true extension of expression - in a sense to begin with form and to evolve into a formless art. To save time, i’ll speak of both musical study and martial arts proficiency as “art” conjunctively. Once mechanics are studied, they must be put in their proper place which is where intent is very important. Intent is the “grand mindset” in art study - it is the psychology of how the art and mechanics will be used. Influence is the guide to which we yield when making artistic choices.
