The Spiritual Martial Arts Code of Conduct, known as Bushido, heralds that
the true warrior must hold loyalty, courage, veracity, compassion, honor
and chivalry above all else....

    An appreciation of and respect for life is also imperative, as it adds
balance and strong philosophical / spiritual passions to the body / mind /
spirit / economic character of the warrior.
    He or She is baneful in combat and yet, ever so gentle with and
safeguarding of.... children and the weak.
