As a Baha’i, www.bahai.org Jamen enjoys contemplating and reflecting upon the history, present and distant future significances of training the martial sciences, in light of the Baha’i Sacred Scriptures, he considers how the arts may be converted into suitable service instruments for the betterment of humanity, both for today and for the future, which is the underlying reasoning for the on going refinement of the Path of Rest.
