Iv'e just replied to a post on Defend.net in the "introduce yourself" forum. Now i'm not naming names but the point is someone there said they were practicing Tae Kwondo, and it weren't "just a workout" it was so they could "kick someones butt" with their training.
My point is, do you think the true essense of learning a Martial Art has been lost over the years? everyone seems to be taking up an art to "kick someones butt". I replied and basically said that i don't think being able to kick someones butt is the true purpose of learning a Martial Art nor should it be an insentive. What do you guys think? x
