Angus Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 To tell u the truth i really don't know any other way. I've been doing them since i was 6 and it's like breathing, i don't think i could live without it. I enjoy it, but i simply can't remember a life before martial arts. Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
DarkMonkey Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 People tend to shy away from the main reasons they attend or at least the main reason they first attended (other reasons migh crop up -- Like the social aspects -- later) for some reason. We all know that 95% of people joined because they wished to become better fighters. They either wanted to be able to defend themselves, be a more strong and confident person or just capitalise on their strength. Oh well. The reason I train is because I need to know I'll have a chance in a fight, I really need that, and I don't have it yet. ~The things you own - they end up owning you.
kajugangsta Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 I do it cause I love it and it is honestly the only thing I am really good at. I cant see myself not doing martial arts cause when Im not training Im thinking about it.and sometimes I would wake up late at night and just go outside and do kata or work with my weapons. I dont know, I guess its a addiction.
BlueDragon Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 To tell the truth I started to stay in shape for wrestling. After I quit wrestling I just kept going to Karate and am loving every minute of it. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" -Hendrix

Prodigy-Child Posted October 1, 2001 Posted October 1, 2001 i do martial arts because of the challenges it offers me and my life is better cuz of the arts.............i didnt have much of a life before training in the martial arts before the age of 13 so for me its just life You can boo me if you want, You know I'm right!-Chris Rock
Karateka Posted October 2, 2001 Posted October 2, 2001 I practiced martial arts because I needed to defend myself, get fit, and get discipline. I now LIVE the martial arts because I believe in the philosophy's and the ways it has been taught. My friends think I am just plain weird, but not a long time ago, this was common place. The honour system and all the philosophy of good and bad. I live the best way I can, a lot of people are back stabbers and are weak. So, you now know why I joined and how I live.

Kickbutt Posted October 2, 2001 Posted October 2, 2001 I have to say that I admire how candid you all have been in your answers - no pretense, just honesty. I continue my martial arts training for these reasons: -discipline -challenging -fitness -self-defense -confidence -I've made good friends -I LOVE IT!! -I want to set a good example for my daughter (5), who also trains, to show her that she should be the best that she can be!!
