Zaine Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Any martial artist gains confidence as they train. The confidence isn't in their skill as a martial artist, it's confidence in themselves. One of the most amazing things that any martial art does is bestow confidence in oneself for those who are willing to stick with it. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusticeZero Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I hesitate to put a number or anything like that on it..Related question: Someone trains for a year, how strong will they be at the end of the year? And I can't tell you if they started their training as a 90 pound, 4 foot tall woman, a football linebacker looking to crosstrain, or a 400 pound couch potato trying to lose weight. Obviously you can't put a good answer on it, because the people involved are so very different. Plus, "confidence" is not exactly an easily quantifiable trait. Finally, it isn't entirely a meaningful trait. Either you have it, or you don't, or you have too much of it and will probably annoy people until you finally are brought down in a spectacular, hubris-driven epic fail. And all three are still able to perform just fine.They still come in and watch their performance and see lots of things they need to work on. The only change is that the peers that are at their level are much more rarified. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I agree that its hard to quantify confidence. Someone can train and compete all their lives, but not have confidence in the chaotic environment of a street fight. Some people may not train in MA at all, and have great confidence in a fight. Everyone is different. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
