Yep Dragon.....I was just talking about the fighting aspect. MMA can build character and teach other things.....but cant compare to the traditional stuff on a whole or as a way of life.
To me the biggest threat I have is daily life.....trying to stay mentally and physically strong and balanced, teach my children how to live a good life and try to be good people, fit into society witout judging to harshly and hopfully not be judged.
MMA is fantastic for fighting but as a way of life......ehh....I think I will stick with the tradition.
Granted....there are good and bad people in MMA and TMA.
