Eskrima's Main Weapon

It is said that the stick is simply the extension of the hand. If this weapon is simply an extension, then what is the mean weapon? Is it the hand carrying the weapon? No . . . nobody can see the weapon. The main weapon is the mind.

In Dhammapada (a Buddhist text), it is said that the historical Buddha (Siddhattha Gotama) taught that;

Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā
manoseṭṭhā manomayā
Manasā ce paduṭṭhena bhāsati vā karoti vā
Tato naṃ dukkhamanveti cakkaṃ'va vahato padaṃ.

(All that we are is the result of what we have thought:
it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.
If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him,
as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage.)

Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā
manoseṭṭhā manomayā
Manasā ce pasannena bhāsati vā karoti vā
Tato naṃ sukhamanveti chāyā'va anapāyinī.

(All that we are is the result of what we have thought:
it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.
If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him,
like a shadow that never leaves him.)

Since any physical action starts in the mind then the mind is our main weapon.

Clattered mind brings misguided hands, misguided hands bring imprecise and inaccurate olisi strikes.

But who commands the mind?
