The Jedi has two faces: the Monk and the Warrior. These are two sides of the same calling.

The Monk strives for peace and contentment in their actions, allowing the flow of the Force to move smoothly from one point to the next. They practice the aspects of healing of the spirit, making it capable to be of benefit to others, through service and connection. The Monk is grown from the shining light of the day, flowering in brilliance and serenity.

The Warrior strives for peace, as well. They do this by training themselves to become more capable beings of the Ashla. This means that they acknowledge the nature of Bogan, the Imbalance. We must first see the ease at which balance is destroyed, so as to be better suited to correct it. This calls for a different type of training: one far more physically taxing… the fire, hammer, and anvil of the forge. The Warrior does not crave violence, but they do not crave weakness to violent actions.

Zenryoku-kai is the “Style of Whole Energy”, and it builds both sides of the Jedi in its offered training. We train to become stronger, even more physically capable of destructive action, but we do so to become more whole, more aligned with both our IN and YO, so that we know how to step away from a situation before violence is needed, or how to step in to stop violence from coming. We learn that there is not just the Monk, and not just the Warrior.

To be Jedi is to be both. The Warrior Monk, child of the Force.
