Blood`Eternity Lol, isnt that unfortunate to say? That the ultimate defence is just an all out brawl?... I personally believe that one who is a master of a fighting style can defeat a simple street fighter, but those who have not yet completed training would abandon their practice at the first sight of trouble and go off instinct, mostly because as much as they want to they dont trust their fighting style. Did I ever say that it was the ultimate defence? I thought I clearly stated that I do not want to nor intend to fight: that should imply to you that I would rather haul a** than fight, under almost every circumstance imaginable. I have no idea where you get the idea of me saying offence is the best defence (might hold true to some computer games, but real-life is sadly very different) And again, to let me point it out, some martial arts styles are more effective in pure self defence than others: someone with even a rudimentary grasp of krav maga can and will put a regular Joe Schmo down if it comes down to that, so can they put down a practitioner of most other martial arts of the same level. Just as an example: krav maga is not the end-all, be-all of defensive martial arts, but it is goddamn effective. [XxGuardianDevilxX] Trust me, street brawling gets you nowhere. If you're just holding on to each other with one hand and slugging with the other, no damage is being done. You have to take a step back and make them play your game. Make them fight at your pace. Almost everyone knows how to street fight. If you know a different style, then use it to your advantage. That sounds more like something you'd find in a hockey rink rather than on the street, either that or I have a wildly different experience of what people go for in a fight. Then again the difference could be that some people actually realize that if you disable your opponent quick, you can win and/or put the hurt to them more effective. At least I would never want a standing fight with anyone. But again, to remind people not to make the same mistake again: I would never advocate a brawl as a means of self-defence. Neither would I advocate using martial arts straight up to solve any conflicts you come across. I'd suggest either being diplomatic about it or failing that, run like a ******** (chances are, if you practice martial arts your body is in a better shape than theirs any day, so running away should be easy). Martial arts are a hobby and a sport to me first and foremost, and sort of a safe-guard in the case s**t begins to hit the fan.

@Love: Tell me what's wrong with the GTA example.
The GTA example doesn't relate the same way to your topic. Children (mind you, CHILDREN) who take the game's content are more vulnerable (and that does not make them idiots) because they are in control of the violence and only leads to violence because these kids go out and think it's okay to perform because no one got hurt in the game. I also don't really think the example really pertains very much here to your essay, but I guess that's because it was intended for a different topic.

[XxGuardianDevilxX] Moonlite Symphony Some martial arts like Tai Chi, and Aikido often do not teach you how to strike first. Aikido ot my knowledge is purely in response and various splinter forms have made attack actions. Tai Chi is all about balance and even teaches that it is better to avoid than fight.
A great deal of martial arts teach that it is better to not use what you know, and t oonly use it when necesary for safety.
I don't think what you wrote is well written. Or rather it lacks a great deal of eloquence. (1) I agree with the first 2 paragraphs that you wrote 3nodding .
(2) Like I said it, was something I did the night before, and I had to rush it. xp
One last thing: what does eloquence mean sweatdrop ?
But yes, like with anything, the most important factor is that the child is well educated...and not stupid

Martial arts is a good thing for children, who can be future victims of kidnapping or something, but also not good if the kidnapper knows it too. sad

It's only like 1 kid in a 1000 kids (or something along those lines), that attempts to pull off such foolish acts in real life. In the game, you got nothing to lose but points and stuff, in real life, you got A LOT to lose.

Bushmeister That sounds more like something you'd find in a hockey rink rather than on the street, either that or I have a wildly different experience of what people go for in a fight. LOL, I know. When I wrote the part of the post, I was thinking about the fools, who thought they were all big and bad at my old school xd .

It was pretty interesting, they try to determine things like is it possible to achieve a one punch knock out or what is the ultimate weapon (not including firearms, missiles, etc)

You may have the most muscles in the world (on the outside), but if you don't have the muscle that matters (the brain), then the stuff you flex is of no use to you.
Ever heard of the Bruce Lee punch? It's where you hold your fist about an inch away from a person, and hit them as hard as you can without winding up. If I'm correct, Bruce Lee could use that to knock a person down/out, or send them flying. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't want to be responsible for mis-informing people sweatdrop .

I took judo for a few years. In judo there are no punches or kicks, only throws, chokes, and arm bars. This martial art was designed to be a safe, but challenging sport. It is taught in some Asian schools in gym. It is unfair to say that martial arts are for defense only. Judo would be almost useless in an acual fight unless you are highly skilled. It usually takes 20 years of training to reach black belt status, unlike many of the mainstream martial arts being taught in the US.

It usually takes 20 years of training to reach black belt status, unlike many of the mainstream martial arts being taught in the US. In middle school for our self-defence unit, we we're talk some aspects of judo. Like the self defence grapples (how to escape headlocks, full nelsons, etc.), and how to land safely following a push or a fall. I'm in Canada, so I think that sort of outruled your asian school assumption wink .
