Himokiri Karate Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Knowing human anatomy helps I suppose as well as knowing physics and gravity also helps as well for sitting down on punches/strikes as well as making sure your not off-balance on different surfaces...After all in boxing and martial arts there is a science behind it. It begins with the knowledge that the severity of a strikes impact is amplified by a smaller surface area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaine Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 A good martial artist needs to live according to the teaching of the style I have issues backing this claim. I don't think that a style can embody a certain life style. I think that, at the most, a style can embody some sort of discipline but that is up to the teacher to impart and/or the student to internalize. However, no style inherently implies some sort of living standard. 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...

Any philosophical ideas passed learned in a fighting system are coming from the teacher's ideas and philosophies. Its basically someone trying to influence you to their way of thinking. The fighting system, in and of itself, can't do this. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobie1979 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 One of my new favorite quotes, " Never look down on someone, unless you are helping them up."

T3chnopsycho Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I would add being modest and not being selfish. Also I think a good martial artist should know when and when not to use his martial arts and to which extend he should apply it. (Also a part of self-control)CheersT3chnopsycho 1st Dan:It's not the top but just the point where you start to understand the true size of what you're doing.

Lupin1 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 To me most of it is about perseverance. Like they say-- a black belt is a white belt who never quit. There's also a commitment to learn the movements and theories behind the physical movements-- to me that's the difference between a martial artist and a brawler. You can be a good fighter without being a martial artist.Finally, there's the self-control and sense of responsibility to use your skills appropriately and not become a bully or a show off or a brute.
