italian_guy Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 The fun of doing it. This is the first thing And also the health benefit, the fitness, the self-defence skill the mental benefits.... but above all there is the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 First it is just so fun for me, and then of course your getting your body in good shape (while having fun), and the self defense benifits are a major plus. Italian guy pretty much said it all A True Martial Arts Instructor is more of a guide than anything, on your way to developing the warrior within yourself!!!!!

TeaL Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 The ability to know you can pretty much take out any threat to yourself/companions. A sense of safty... even if its not real, if a bigger guy is pushing me around, i can use his size against him, with joint locks, sweeps extc.. its nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicks Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 (edited) In General... 1. The biggest love in life...spending time with my kids. 2. Health and fitness through enjoyable recreational activity. 3. Self defense. Specific events... 1. When preparing for tournaments. I think to myself, while I'm here at home taking it easy my opponents are out there training to kick my butt. It don't take long for me to get up and go after a thought like that. 2. When preparing for a belt test. I'm an over acheiver. I'll train and practice above the recommended or miminum requirements. 3. Desire to learn a new skill and perfect it. Right now it's sai and bo. Other motivational factors... Get out of doing the laundry.

foreveryoung001 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I definetely enjoy teaching my kids. They have such a good time with it, that it is contagious. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair? Why didn't you use your karate?"Master: "Hitting him with a chair was the only karate I could think of at the time."Lesson: Practice until you don't have to think.

BJJShotoshe Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 The fact that I wake up every morning with this almost paralyzing pain and know why, also because I pay for this abuse. It is in my blood!! shodan - ShotokanBlue Belt - Jiu-JitsuWhoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care the themself without that law is both. For wounded man shall say to his assailant, if I live I will kill you, If I die you are forgiven-- such is the rule of Honor.
