I myself have been in the law enforcment field for a while, but have studied eastern medical science along with years of martial arts that focus on internal chi development, bone marrow and tendon changing, and accu-points.

Hello The health field is comprised of many areas,those in the practitioner area are dedicated to the body, mind and spirit, Which I am sure all of you know is a major part of a martial art. The difference in AKTS, in my opinion is daily discipline and focus, strength,prevention and defense of all these areas, while also developing a brotherhood of a continuing lifestyle of honor and integrity. Just a quick opinion.Blessings MyWhitty.
