Martial Arts VS Fitness

[Xebsball]

Martial Arts VS Fitness battle


Martial Arts -
* Teach you to kick ass
* Develops up to mid level fitness looks wise
* Develops some confidence
* The core of it is rarely used on real situations
* Develops "ninja street lethal murderer justicer" mindset on you
* Its considered repulsive by some chicks


Fitness -
* There are always chicks around
* Develops high level fitness looks wise
* Develops some confidence
* Its used 100% of the time, since your looks influence almost all the people you meet daily, including you
* Doesnt develop street lethal mindset on you, makes you more cool
* Its considered atractive to all chicks



Any wanna add anything?

Fitness and Martial Arts both develop mad amounts of ego, or over-confidence.

[Ray Pina]

Martial arts:
Stage 1) self confidence
stage 2) inner self confidence/outward modesty

Stage 1) No applicable skill
Stage 2) some applicable skill but doubts
Stage 3) muscle memory reaction to stimuls
Stage 4) ????????

Fitness:
Stage 1) low self esteem
Stage 2) feeling better, looking better
Stage 3) completely self absorbed. Move beyond just weights to bathroom full of hair products
stage 4) shaving chest and back
Stage 5) plucking eyebrows

I don't 'meet' myself daily unless I'm a multiple personality disorder... oops sorry, didn't notice it was you Xebs!

* Develops "ninja street lethal murderer justicer" mindset on you

This is exactly why I do it!

* The core of it is rarely used on real situations

Seriously, generally I agree with what you said, but I would say I use the core of it every day, in everyday situations, and I'm not talking about fighting:

balance on the train,
centredness at work,
both when negotiating crazy busy streets full of rude people,
structure when carrying, lifting, standing, sitting,
breathing techniques when massaging, having sex, running for the train,
kicks, fuk sau, sun fist, knees, elbows, just about anything opening doors without making it obvious (telegraphing),
grappling with my fiancee,
meditation technique when trying to get my lazy ass out of bed...

etc.

Of course, most people don't appreciate my level of fantacism. So I don't tell them.

balance on the train - ok, agreed
centredness at work - hmm, dunno
both when negotiating crazy busy streets full of rude people - dont think MA influence there, since dealing with crows is somethin one always done and keeps doing the same way?
structure when carrying, lifting, standing, sitting - Fitness gives you those with the posture correction and muscle improvements
breathing techniques when massaging, having sex, running for the train - your breathing improves a lot by just doing the cardio, fit people have more sex, fit people are awesome runners. besides if you wanna breathing stuff do just Yoga.
kicks, fuk sau, sun fist, knees, elbows, just about anything opening doors without making it obvious (telegraphing) - ... yeah... mkay...
grappling with my fiancee - fit people can just buy the kama sutra book and test with the milions of wimmins they get
meditation technique when trying to get my lazy ass out of bed... - fit people can take Yoga class at the gym too

I think with some of the martial sports, you pretty much have to be fit in order to be able to do them. I cannot imagine someone with a heart problem doing boxing or muay thai. Yes, I know that Evander Holyfield boxed after having a heart problem, but I tend to think that he was the exception rather than the rule.

Actually, at my school, they teach eyebrow plucking before chest and back shaving

But really tho, only pluck the "unibrow" in the middle. Don't pluck out the actual eyebrows (except around the edges for shaping purposes), for two reasons: 1. people without eyebrows look funny, and 2. eyebrows are required to keep sweat out of your eyes.
