Martial artist or just learning to fight?

[TheDevilAside]

Ah, well then I'm a true martial artist

 

'Course I researched the history behind my art, simply because it's interesting. What I thought you meant was if I embraced the martial arts not as a method of fighting, but for the principles brought forth by it. Of course I don't disagree with any of the morals that American Kenpo teaches (use it only as a means of self defense, is one), but that's not why I train in martial arts. I train strictly to fight, not to achieve inner peace or something like that. But that doesn't mean I don't recognize the heritage and history of my art.
