Not at all Matt, we are brave when we remain determined against the challenge of obstacles trying to stop us reaching our aim in living.

Belle photo et belle pose ! Superbe... Je ne pense pas que les gens soient moins braves aujourd'hui : il y en a toujours qui dendent les plus faibles et qui mettent parfois leur propre vie en danger !

C'est une belle composition avec le gros grain qui lui convient. L'atmosphe est entre la bravoure et le gothique. Petite remarque, la main l'avant plan est limite surex.....c'est pour dire quelque chose.

I must agree with SomethingStrange. I believe we have lost our bravery in some areas .. and lost or honor in almost all other areas. Nice picture.

As a martial artist I'd suggest that real bravery has nothing to do with swords or combat. There are plenty of places to be brave in this life, even in the 21st century. Standing up and refusing to let the government push you around is brave, standing up for someone who is being bullied or downtrodden is brave, saying what is in your heart when everyone else is playing bobble head and agreeing is brave. Not all risk is in combat. In my experience the first requirement of any martial art is to have the courage to stand in the place where you can be hit, that is to take the risk.

I agree with you, therapier, we can be brave without using any weapon ; this image was just here to create a feeling of "old" bravery. But I think that the bravery that you mention is also disapearing nowadays... Thank you for all your comments !
