WudangDragon Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Warrior are the martial artists who fight not for themselves, but for others.when people try to fight them, they will turn the other cheek, but when others are fighting or opressing the weak, they will step in and put a stop to it, whatever the cnsequence for themselves.Some would say that this is what any decent person would do, if so, then every decent person is a warrior,a warriors of freedom and justice.

elbows_and_knees Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 just because you are a soldier that does not make you a warrior. in my opinion a warrior is someone who does the right thing no matter the cost.which is fine.... it's a romanticized opinion, but we are all entitled to opinions. The DEFINITION of warrior has already been stated here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseoForce Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 You cannot debate the definition of warrior. People will always have different beliefs about that. Therefore, people who are not warriors in my (or your) eyes will be called warriors, and vice versa. What you must remember is that WARRIOR is just a word. It is the person's actions that define them, not a title. Oh, and because no one else has done it-"I'm searching for a great warrior.""Ah, war is not what make one great." Bonus points if you can tell me what movie that's from. If it works, use it!If not, throw it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONE TROOF Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 How about I'm a warrior with thuggish tendencies. You can't fade me, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 i think people who see the romanticised idea of what a warrior is, are only imposing on themselves an aim to better themselves.... so irrelevant of what a warrior is defined to be.... tehy choose a certain aim, and feel that is the word that best describes it.Hope that made some sense...

Sabumnim Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 The term 'warrior' is definitely romanticised. If it helps a person to better themself then why not use it.And to elbows_and_knees,I was talking about the naive people who ask the question, how do I beat a street fighter? If I answered that question it would be generalisation.
