Martial Arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat.

In addition, some martial arts are linked to spiritual or religious beliefs/philosophies such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism or Shinto while others have their own spiritual or non-spiritual code of honour.

While they may be studied for various reasons, martial arts share a single objective: to defeat one or more people physically and to defend oneself or others from physical threat. Many arts are also practised competitively most commonly as combat sports, but may also be in the form of dance.

This is a riddle i am looking for the answer to this When you begin martial arts you see the colors when you end martial arts you see the light?

I don't think this is necessarily a riddle, more of a philosophy. My interpretation would be as new comers to the martial arts, many people are obsessed with obtaining their next rank, or colored belt. If you stay dedicated and disciplined, you learn martial arts is not about the belts and colors, it's about the knowledge you gain, hence "The light'.
