Martial arts is someting that you can do in the good times,

 It is something in your body that won't leave you in the bad

 It has the potential to take care of your lowest nature ( survial) , this is the "martial " part

and it has the potential to open up one of your highest nature (creativity) , this is the "art" part

How do you keep the martial part going?

No matter how good you think you are , remember your first day on the floor against those that came before...

 How do you keep the art part going?

No matter how much you know , remember the excitement and possibilities on your first kids class

Theres no point training if you are stuck on the first part , do we really need more fighting?

Yet you cannot start from the top, the second part.

 Martial arts is a common label but most dont realize theres a bridge that have to be cross between the two words...

this can only be cross by alot of practice , where is there any room for politics ?  

 I hope I get there someday
