i know most of you in here will associate martail arts into jakie chan and bruce lee but that is the Hollywood side of it and really does not show its true meaning. I have been studying and practicing the martial arts since i was 4 and through the years you would think that i would have been in several if not many fights. Incorrect i have never used my training to hurt another human being (atleast on purpose) in 11 years of studying. Now i know by know you must think that im some strange person in all but i was taught that it was only to be used in self-defence and I was taught respect, self-dicipline, self-control, and concentration. Now these may seem very primitive or almost childish lessons but learning how to fight taught me these lessons (strange huh). My point is that there is much more to the martial arts than we think. What are your thoughts people?
