Is Shou' Shu' an aggressive art?

Yes, but that doesn't mean it makes people aggressive. Taught in the wrong way, any martial art can cause big egos and attitudes. We teach our students how to be aggressive if needed, but there's no reason to walk around with this attitude all the time. Attitude is a cover up for low self esteem. Actually when a martial art is taught properly, the student becomes more confident. Because they are more confident, they become less aggressive.We think of teaching a highly effective and aggresive art like this. We want to give our students the tools they might need for any situation. But you don't pull out a sledge hammer to drive a push pin.
