Yes, comparing a fight with a chess game is partially correct. However in a fight also speed matters and it matters a lot !!!

About fancy food I had Snake in china, Alligator in Florida. But the nicest fancy food I had is Porcupine meet. It is delicious.

Yes practice and be honest with yourself. When something goes wrong analize what you have done wrong and next time try to avoid it. (Anyway when I spar less experienced people I let them attack first. Since they are less experienced they usually make errors you can exploit to counter attack ).

Thanks for the very in-deep explanation.

I was born around midnight so I can be a 1 or a 9 for a matter of seconds. Officially I'm 9. But n.1 profile fits me better.

I see your point. Did you or sombody else here have some experience about martial arts used as a sort of 'troyan horse' to convert people to oriental religions? Expecially to kids.....

I discovered MA recently. I wish I have done it before. I do MA for fitness and for fun, most of the fun comes from sparring, when you spar you always learn something and the lesson is not necessarily related to the fight itself but it is related on your capability of putting everithing you've got in the challange: skill, appilcation of theory, endurance, flexibility, speed, self-control, awareness, strenght physical and mental. I like my art (Kickboxing) because is all that, good for fitness and easy to learn (at least the basics...) so you can start sparring with limited experience ( I have 9 month training and I spar since when I had 4 month experience). Having said that I also would like to cross-train a more traditional martial art to have also some more internal benefit. Maybe I will join some tai chi class as soon as I find a good one compatible with my day schedule.

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum.

I suggest to add Chris Kent's: Jeet Kune Do A to Z and The complete Idiot guide to KickBoxing.

You can have a look at https://www.inosanto.com there is a list of JKD instructor certified by the famus Bruce Lee Student.
