Martial arts were designed with one thing in mind...to defend ones self against an attacker threating his/her life, or that of their families. Sure it teaches a "mental" discipline so that one who practices can exercise control, but the ultimate goal is confiedence that you will survive a confrontation....should that unfortunate situation arise. I am a big believer that it is not the art, or style that makes the differance, but the martial artist, and how he/she chooses to practice it. Hasta!!
