Zorbasan Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 so why am i good at MA but crap at music? Now you use head for something other than target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsey Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 i guess because you've spent way more time doing MA than music? "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath.

Jiffy Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 HAHA I love that one.Music is like Martial Arts in many way, including the fact that both take practice. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shui Tora Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yeah, but math and music books don't kick back! They do if someone throws them at you! *ahem* Having played the piano for a long time, I can say that Jiffy has a good analogy about the links with Ju Jitsu and Music...You start off with the basics, build it up but you are still learning... Even though you may have mastered it all, there is still something new that you'll learn....

cathal Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 When you look deep into it, Music and Martial Arts have many many similarities.Same with math. I think we're on to something here.Yeah, but math and music books don't kick back! I dunno I've seen some pretty nasty algorithm in my time.

alsey Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 i played drums for like a year, back when i was a grunge kid and wanted to be in a band. music really isn't my thing though (not playing it anyway).

Shui Tora Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Maybe we should start up our own Band then with everyon'e musical experience! Dunno what we would call it though... Maybe the "Marital Artsits" or something like that! :lol: To know the road ahead; ask those coming back... ~ Chinese Proverb" The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.
