2 martialk arts is not wise

[mean fighter]

O.K O.K O.K. Soorry about this guys, its just that around my neighborhood there are alot of bad kids whos uncles and fathers teach them martial arts or pay for there training at a dojo. They invite there other friends who are bad kids who have dabbled in other styles and try to create there own fighting style and beat up on the weak like an old asian martial arts movie. They have messesed with my friends and I have proved what ever mixted training wrong ina matter of fact. I am due to fight these bullies at 8:00 today so me other blackbelts from my school are coming to support me incase they decide not to fight fare. By the way my experiences with these kind of people has made me think the way I do. Sorry you guys Ill be more open minded in the future.

Well fighting these guys out in the street isn't going to prove or disprove anything. I think you should reconsider how to handle this predicament of yours. Maybe try talking to the instructors they train under and/or your instructor. If any of the instructors I know ever found out that someone from their school was using their martial arts, regardless of the style, for street fighting it would be a bad day for those students. I understand you want to confront and stop these bullies, but there are much better ways to go about it. You're setting yourself up for a bad situation. Remember that those old martial arts movies are movies, not real life.

I know the movies are movies it just angers me when I see people act so irressponsibly and treat people so wrong, LIKE ON THE MOVIES.

[Ottman]

Of course it does. It angers me too, but as martial artists, we should have a better control over anger and be able to resolve our issues in a peaceful, non-violent way.

i personally think it messes you up, during testing and exams for your degree or new belt
