The Circle of Life is what you’re defending, according to the Buddhists. This is a part of every fiber of a person, a part of which that is used in martial arts, especially if they want to be good at it.
It was first conceived as the Buddhists were making “karate”, which is one of the progenitors of modern martial arts.
Monks were forced to create karate to defend themselves as they resided in the Tibetan mountain range. Bandits would often raid their monasteries because they were thought to be defenseless.
The area covered by the Circle of Life can easily be discovered. All you need to do is to find your reach – you need to find what your legs and your arms can reach. Just stretch your arms and legs and see what area it covers when you movie it around. Make sure to stretch as far as you can so you can see it for its entirety.
That entire area is your very own personal circle of life. Whatever enters this area uninvited is a threat and thus, must be stopped and defended. If you keep something out of it, you’re protecting yourself.
