Kaminari Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I first got into it for, most importantly, a healthy, active hobby, and also for self-defense, but that wasn't as important. Now I don't think I could bear not to. It's so addicting!
Cmon Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I'd just like to add that in the uk, not many people have weapons. If they have knives then you are taught how to deal with them anyway.
1kickKO Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Fun is a key principle for me, self-defense 2nd, and fitness 3rd .
Highler Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I do it just for the love of it......I think its awesome learning new things. I'm surprised there's anything left for you to learn MJ 'The cat taught the tiger everything he knows. One day the tiger turned on the cat and the cat ran up a tree. That was the one thing the cat never taught the tiger.'
kataman Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 Cool but any one had mention anything about the spirituel side of martial art.Is anybody still belive in the way of the ancient warriors. I don't train for belt color I train to survive on the street
Master Jules Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I still have TONS to learn...... ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"
Treebranch Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Life is study. MA are amazing to me. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
Knifehand007 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 from a self-defence perspective, a martial artist will have an advantage. even a little training goes a long way, from a confidence perspective. From a lifestyle perspective, every Cho Dan i talk to about martial arts is on a quest to better themselves. Kick higher, punch harder, more accurately. Its a discipline. Strength is no match for skill
1kickKO Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Tradition does have it's effects on MA's too..people are drawn to that kind of stuff sometimes...depending on the person. Some people like the discipline, etc..
Muaythaiboxer Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 i just love it... i dont know why but ever since i steped on the wrestling mat and did my first kick in a dojo i have put my whole life it to martial arts. my friends and family think im nuts cause i train 5hrs a day every day. but i just cant get enough of martial arts. mabe some of you guys have that same feeling.
