That feeling of Brotherhood or unity is one of the greatest aspects of the martial arts. When we sweat and bleed with our fellow dojo rats, we share something that makes us special to each other and scary to outsiders.

There is another word for this action or selfless thought to help another without the expectation of reward...LOVE. This is a great post.
