RWDboy Forums Junkie Location: South Australia Registered: July 2002	Re: Martial Arts Tue, 23 November 2004 04:07 Oh man this is going to take a long time to reply to...I wish I'd noticed this thread earlier! This whole 'street effective' and 'real fights' thing annoys the shit out of me. What exactly do most people call 'street fights' anyway? It's just a case of two or more people going retarded and getting physical. Sure they can be dangerous blah blah, but why would you waste your time with a street fight? It means almost nothing at all - there is nothing on the line but foolish pride and arrogance. It's just some little aggressive episode that should probably be sorted out by a guidance counsellor or something. If you want to know a REALLY REALLY amazingly effective street tactic, then take up sprinting/jogging/running, I guarantee it will get you out of 99% of situations without a scratch. If you are the kind of person who gets into multiple people on multiple people fights (gang fights), then forget martial arts - chances are it will all be decided by who has the most blunt objects, who is willing to do the lowest blows or who has the most knives and/or guns. You're best bet is to go to a doctor, ask about seeking professional help and straightening out your life. Martial arts is about LIFE - not about fighting. It's about discpline, respect, honesty, integrity and how to lead a 'better' (loose use of the term) life using those skills/characteristics. (this bit has been re-phrased to be less stoopid) If you are starting out and you just wanna get fit and have some fun, just scope out a few places and just watch some of their training sessions - in regards to fitness and health you are probably better off steering clear of the martial arts *schools* (not styles) that promise to make you 'hardcore' etc. These are just quick and nasty and I don't think they are a great long term prospect if you want to integrate martial arts into your life. When you think about it, if you plan on sticking with martial arts for a long period of time you have to consider whether it is actually going to ADD to your life in the long run - ie is your body going to hold up forever! Every martial art is high impact exercise - some moreso than others, even more family oriented Tae Kwon Do training can strain your body more than you might think.(/rephrasing) As an aside - I do alot of my own reading into physiology so I can better understand the human body's reaction to martial arts and how to better use my body in the process of martial arts. I base my recommendation of steering clear of the "lets beat the shit out of someone" schools of martial arts upon this research.
