Then again, my instructors weren't IMAists who challeneged anyone who questioned them like an elementary school bully.

Besides, I'm not a trained fighter. Kicking my ass wouldn't prove anything.

Oh, they were MA instructors. I just mean I'm not currently conditioned enough to be accepting challenge matches from people who think objective truth is determined by the person who wins the fight.
And even if I was, I haven't wanted to do that since I was in 2nd grade when I actually thought that was a valid way to settle arguments.
