What do you love most from martial arts?


Recommended Posts

I really love practicing the martial arts very much because you do get a killer workout and it helps the toning of your muscles. It also helps get rid of your negative attitude towards life in general and helps you achieve a more positive aspect. :)

What I love the most about the arts right now is the expressive ability that it gives me. I am kind of hefty, but I can do some things that a lot of people can't do, and it makes feel good to know that I can surprise someone.

I was sparring with a friend of my brothers once. I really outranked him, and he knew it, but wanted to spar anyway. He was young, athletic, and quick, and had some experience, but not a lot. He had good stuff for as much time as he had put in. I outweighed him by around 70 pounds, I imagine.

Well, we sparred, and he made a few comments like "Big guys shouldn't be that quick; that just isn't right!" It is when people make comments like that, that it makes me feel good.

I also got some comments about how I fought at the last tournament I competed in. I got beat in the first round, but still had some people asking me questions, and making positive comments to me about my fighting. That made me feel good, too.

So, it is these things that the arts give me that I enjoy. Knowing that I am capable of accomplishing things that others don't try to.

Hi, I'm new here and I thought this would be a good post to start with. The thing that I find most fulfilling about studying a martial art is that the upper ranks give me a perspective of where I'm going and the lower ranks remind me of how far I've came.

Very good point. Welcome to the Forums! :karate:

Something to really look forward to on Monday and Friday evenings after work! An escape from the pressures of daily life and an opportunity to interact with other people, learning from those above me and being a role model to those below me.

I don't think there's any one reason why I'm a junkie. It just feels right when I'm practicing.

My favorite thing is actually fighting, but i would never want to get into a real fight unless absolutley necissary.

the best fight is one that doesnt happen

My favorite thing used to be the sparring, but now that my knees are kind of crappy (and I'm not as fast), I think that I like "kata" most

Martial arts give me a sort of comfort in my life. It helps me a lot to know that I could find an enjoyable career for myself despite my lack of ability to think on the right side of my brain. It helps me vent my anger a little bit. I like the idea of me passing my knowledge onto my friends or family who I know need it so they can defend themselves in a tight situation and if I should need them myself, I'll be able to.

I like MA because it's a good workout, but more importantly I really like hanging out with the people at the dojo. I've met a lot of good friends at the dojo.
