P.A.L Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I don't care about self defense that much anymore, i like to learn a art,preserve it and may be pass it on one day, that's why i ended up with a traditional style, I also practice other styles just to gain some basic knowledge.

Keumgang Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I started when I was 24 and do martial arts for self defense and physical fitness. I also like the history and philosophy behind the arts. There are no inns on the highway to death.

Kaminari Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I absolutely love the MA, because: 1) healthy hobby 2) self defense 3) it's awesome I started when I was about twelve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian_guy Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I started for fitness and fun, ... and I'm still there for these reasons. Unfortunately I started late (almost 42) if I would have started earlier I would have tried the competition side but now it's too late. Anyway MAs are a lot of fun and this is the reason why I cross train mostly because in this way I can fill my week with MA lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I really have thought about this alot and I don't know why I train martial arts. I guess it's because I strive to be better then I was yesterday, every day. The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move.

BJJShotoshe Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 hello! i do martial arts to stimulate my mental sharpness and, since i live in such a small town, there is not much in the challenging feild. sure, there are your typical school sports and the honor academic classes, and some skateboarding parks aroung, but nothing that really challeneges mentally and physically. i was five when i started. 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.
