It was because of this that they learned to rely upon their spiritual connections found between themselves, nature and the heavens, the sun, moon and rain.

combat which features a realistic struggle for the upper hand without using the full power of the participant’s abilities. The
intent is to learn and practice, not to cause injuries. In formal, competitive sparring, intentionally or accidentally injuring
one’s opponent carries potentially severe penalties.
