which you could have done before sustaining injuries that inhibit your ability to fight?
glad you clarified that because i was under the impression you had to fight in order to be a martial artist.
whew. *wipes forehead*
what is more rewarding - proving yourself a martial artist long enough to become unfit to fight before becoming a true martial artist or simply focusing on being a martial artist altogether?
very true and i am very happy you have discovered this truth for yourself - being a womanizing spartan warrior only lasts so long.
ditto.
Seems like you STILL have a lot to learn son.
I do find your interpretation of what I wrote interesting. Incorrect but interesting.
Note that I did NOT say that I no longer fight full contact because of injuries.
Someone seems to have assumed what they wanted to.
My health issues are, like some here know, Meniere's disease and because of it I can't, for obvious reasons, spar.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
