I remember not too long ago when the ads were always "learn to defend yourself and never fear again".

 

Flipping through the yellow pages right now and what I basicly see is "great family fun, make friends, get in shape, and oh yeah we teach self defense sometimes too".

 

I think alot of places need to get their ads redone. I've visited most of them and they weren't that bad. Some of these ads could have fooled me though.

it's called marketing.

 

People are no longer worried about self defense, so much as a few extra pounds.

 

Wether you agree with it, or not, they're trying to make a buck

I think its probably because the Martial Arts community has grown out of that adolescent attitude.

What do you mean "getting" pathetic. They've been cheezy since the earliest I can remember(since the 70's). There hasn't been a time that martial arts ads haven't been cheezy.

Nothing wrong with being cheezy, ot works for them. Keeps the nutters away.

 

Well usually anyway ^ .... :)

but isn't that a good thing?

 

i mean, the more people who see that martial arts isn't just about fighting the better.

post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are.

Well, "martial arts" that aren't for fighting aren't "Martial arts" in the literal sense of the word...

martial comes from mars who is the roman god of war so martial means war or warlike and art is being creative or being skilled in so martial arts means being skilled in or being creative in the way you do war or battle...but if that's true then why don't all the martial arts have an eye poke technique? it's creative and effective so why isn't it in martial arts?

There are two types of people in the world. Those that find excuses and those that find a way.
