bunkyT18 Forums Junkie Location: Pilbara Registered: November 2004	Re: Martial Arts Wed, 29 June 2005 07:25 It's the same everytime someone asks about martial arts. It's either, 'I was at the club and got punched and now I feel like shit, it's the first time I've been in a fight'... or 'I think I'd like to do a martial art cos it looks cool and I would not mind being fit.' Quote: Saying martial arts is for self defence or for health is total crap in my opinion. I've heard the self defence line so many times. It's not for self defence, if you want to learn self defence, take up sprinting. Then I must be talking total crap I guess ... I've done a number of Chinese fighting styles, Boxing, Judo, Greek Roman Wrestling etc lots and lots. Also been whupped a couple of times (not too many lol). Here's my two quid. If you want to do a martial art for sport and fitness it will not really matter what you choose, shop around and find out what you like. Don't sign up for a long haul and commit financially to anything longer than a month until you decide you like it. Be wary of any schools or teachers that seem over eager for you to join up and commit financially to fees. If you want to really get into the self defence side of things then you should shop a lot more selectively. Choose a style based on the personality, conviction and skill of the teacher/s. It's not a simple thing to mentally condition yourself to deal with the reality of 'real' everyday survival style of fighting. The physical conditioning is a lot easier to do. I also think it's important to know that fighting should be a last resort to any confrontation. If you can run away or get yourself out of a scuffle, avoid a confrontation and get on with your life then do it in preference of the 'I'm a karate fighter and I kick ass' mentality. Chicks are not impressed by fighter type guys, contrary to the crap that spews forth from hollywood. Lastly, no one style reigns supreme. There are individuals within those disciplines that definitely kick the proverbial. Then again, they would probably bust arse whatever style they chose to do.
