Not to dispute "The Warrior Spirit", but what do you make of O'Sensei 's become something of a recluse for a number of years, and after that period, until the end of his life, talking about(and doing) more and more techniques that were not designed to hurt, just end the conflict. Remember, earlier in his life, he was one tough hombre!
Though I think I understand what is implied by "Warrior Spirit", many greater than I have argued that a true warrior doesn't train to fight, she trains not to fight.
My point? Some of us may find it hard to seperate Warrior Spirit (determination, focus, commitment) from Warrior Intent (victory over others). After all, aren't there enough warriors in the world? Though, O'Sensei was an accomplished warrior.
As for the ten-thousand strong ennemy; the strongest ennemy is ourselves. Ego, vanity, selfishness. No amount of crushing others will EVER make up for a hollow self, no matter how much spirit they might have.
My two confused cents.
