In martial art practitioners, the valiancy is not brutal force and fierce, but is the great courage produced from his heart. It requires a calm mind, complemented by righteousness and wisdom.
As the saying “To face the great mountain tumbling down without being frightened” goes, to be able to face straightforwardly any difficulty, danger, horror or even critical moment, to face bravely any challenge. Thus, Benevolence, Righteousness, Etiquette, Wisdom, Creditability and Seriousness all together are displayed in “valiancy”, and what a man with great valiancy exhibits is a faith and a generous character too!
