[QUOTE="Lannon, post: 686307, member: 7171"] [b]*snicker*[/b] Heh. I havnt been talking about "moves" in any way shape or form. I could not care less about your kata or your martial arts style. My point was that by joining a violent institution you may well be inviting violence into your life. I have not said anything about violence not ever being the "answer." You have fabricated that notion with your own mind. I have said that you are, perhaps unintentionally, inviting violence into your life and wasting a good deal of time training yourself to hurt other people. I happen to thiink that their are more constructive and beneficial ways to spend your time than training in the martial arts. At least you realize this. I dont believe two fights are necessarily a high number. I do think that being in fights when you are a person over 20 years old indicates that there is something wrong. My father and uncle have not been in a fight since their teenage years each of them is nearing sixty years old. If they can do it then so can anyone else. My suggestion would be to increase your level of education so that you might earn a decent wage and live in a safer community. We all have good friends. This is not a reasonable argument for the benefits of martial arts. Lots of things build character. I do not need to study martial arts to have all the benefits that you have described thus far (including the ability to avoid physical violence). I have not provided any evidence. Instead I have voiced an opinion based on some experience with individuals in the martial arts. Anecdotal evidence by its definition cannot be contrived. I do not have the time to waste on anything remotely "spiritual." I find the notion of spirituality to be a largely humorous topic and one that is entertainingly enough a large part of many martial artists vocabulary. [/QUOTE]
