hazeleyes202 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 what to buy with $20? Martial arts related of course. “When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.” - Thich Nhat Hanh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkon72 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 A good book, "The Way of the Warrior - The Paradox of the Martial Arts." Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ps1 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Nothing. Save it, put it in a bank. Then the next time you have $20, put it into that same bank. Continue for a while and before long, presto...you'll have enough money to pay for a year of classes. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

MasterPain Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 A hammer. Makes a great bludgeon, and you can use it while building makiwara and such. My fists bleed death. -Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wastelander Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well, a lot of the stuff I want that is related to martial arts these days costs more than $20. That said, I would most certainly find a good book that isn't currently in my collection. Most of the stuff that you can buy may be helpful, but it isn't generally necessary. At some point, additional knowledge is necessary to continue your training effectively, and sometimes a good book can provide that--or, at least, it can provide some insight or inspiration to help you along the way.

bushido_man96 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah, its hard for me to land an MA related item for under $20. There might be a book or two out there I could get. Perhaps a magazine subscription? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
