Benefits of Martial Arts Training

[Skeptic 2004]

women dig men who can protect them

Looks like someone beat me to this benefit, but I've found this to be very true. I don't use it as a pick up line (I probably should since I have no game...), but when I've met some women and they ask me what I do for fun and I say "Karate", they suddenly become very interested in me.

I'd also like to add that MA gives you a sense of a purpose (not necessarily a raison d'etre, or to supplant God's [or other divine deity that one believes in...or does not believe in] plan for one's life). When you begin your martial path, you become a part of something much bigger than yourself. This belonging gives one a much needed sense of a destiny and a purpose (once again, notice I use "a" and not "THE". I don't believe MA should be a raison d'etre, but I do believe it can enrich one's life).

There is NOTHING like smacking the bag/pads when you've had a bad day.

* I getting married soon, as my fiance' and I have been attending dancing lessons. My martial arts training has allowed me to quickly pick up the dance routine that we will be doing.

Being able to be that person in the movie theater who critiques all the techniques in a kung fu movie based on their practicality.

Hmm. Is that a good thing?

First, allow me to say "congratulations" to you and your future wife.

Second, as a guy who went through the same exact thing 7 months ago, let me say that my karate training definitely helped a lot with the dancing lessons.
