The Big Question: Why Do You Do Martial Arts?

[SaiFightsMS]

Succinct and to the point Winterkarate. You boiled down what everyone else said to its essence.

I do martial arts because one day i hope kill someone only using the back of my hand

Originally, because ever since I saw Bruce and Chuck as a kid, I wanted to be able to do those things. Not from a fighting standpoint, because I never got into many fights, and was friends with most everyone. More from the ability standpoint. What those guys could do was amazing to me, maybe a confidence building thing.

 

Now, I continue because it was everything that I thought, and much much more. I still sit there and watch my masters do things I can't believe I will be able to achieve. This drives me to achieve even more. The thought of being able to tune into my apponents energy through our touching staffs just blows my mind.

Sutton,

 

I do martial arts for protection. It also builds self confidence and self esteem. I am also losing weight and gaining strength.

Self defence, keep fit

the main reason i do it is because i like fighting, but i'm too nice to go and pick fights on the street

[AUSSIE]

Well I do it cause I like fighting and I just wanna be able to smack people and i'm obsessed with the idea of becoming UNBEATABLE. SMACK SMACK

Man, somebody's been digging in the archive...

 

I do them for sport, mainly.

1) For a long time I knew nothing else.

 

2) For defense.

 

3) Because I enjoy it.
