Arts_not_Brutality Posted April 23, 2002 Posted April 23, 2002 Hey! I'm a senior in high school interested in getting into MA. I've wrestled for three years, and that was enough to let me know that I'm looking into MA for physical and mental benefits, not to have the goal of being able to beat ppl up. This site is awesome, and I hope to talk with you all soon.

SaiFightsMS Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Welcome to the forum You should find some friends in the grappling area.
KickChick Posted April 24, 2002 Posted April 24, 2002 Welcome Arts_not_Brutality ! First off, while many people enter the Martial Arts trying to be the deadliest people in the world, it is not true that the final objective of most, if any, arts is this. Many masters say that the best battle someone can win is one that he doesn't fight. Most martial arts are not designed to make you an instant killer. While a Martial Artist does learn combat skills, the final objective of a Martial Art is not to become the deadliest person alive. There will always be someone who is bigger, stronger, faster, has a bigger knife, a more powerful gun, a longer range missile, and so on. The objective, then, is to become the best that you can be, regardless of how good anyone else is. Good luck in your training (whatever style you decide to practice) you have a good beginning mindset in which to proceed! _________________ KarateForums Sensei 1st dan Black Tae Kwon Do CardioKickboxing/Fitness Inst.
