people study for many different reasons.

if you just want to learn to fight. you COULD study kung fu. provided you find a good master. you can learn to fight.

true there is more to the arts than just fighting power.

if your connection to wanting to learn is strictly for fighting. that is fine.

if you find a good master and stick with your training, you will find the added benefits that good training will instill in a practitioner. they will make themselves apparent through hard work and dedication.


i say, if your motivation is to fight. then fight.

that is not an evil motivation, and it is better than none. you can grow from there.
