3DFIGHTER Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 There was a guy that died in the dojo a couple of weeks before I started training of a heartattack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenadier Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 No, the only way you could die in martial arts is like health problems. It can also happen if you look at the flip side of the coin. If you don't train, you're losing out on some good conditioning, excercise, and many benefits. As a result, you could easily get an elevated blood pressure, higher cholesterol counts, and lose muscle tone, all of which can shorten your life. To the original poster: Look at it this way: Anything you do can result in your death. You could choke to death on that next bite of food, you could get run over by a car driven by an incompetent driver stoned on marijuana, or you could die from a homicidal bomber that has explosives strapped to his chest the next time you go out to eat. Does that mean you shouldn't partake in activities? Of course not. You should live your life and enjoy it, and yes, train in the martial arts, as long as your body can handle it. The chances of you dying from something done in the dojo are slim, indeed. With proper instruction and supervision, those chances diminish even more, to the point where someone playing golf would run a greater risk.

ninjanurse Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 On a personal note: I took an accidental shot in the temple once during class...everyone was surprised that I didn't die. They figure 1 cm difference in impact point and it would have been fatal. It only takes one shot in the right place...
