I'm fully aware there are many better fighters than me

 

And usually that really isn't even the issue. A street fight doesn't start like your average sparring session, two people facing each other starting to dance back and forth exchanging punches. In a street confrontation you may already have been taken down to grappling range when you first realize you are being attacked in the first place. Someone tackles you from behind or takes a chokehold and you don't have the choice of trying to knock him down before starting grappling...

Karate can defeat jui-jitsu. jui-jitsu can also defeat Karate. depends on who trains harder.

If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.


Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.
