golden arhat,

What is your martial art?

What specific training or meditation do you do that prepares you for confrontation?



Eomonroe,

I'm feeling a little bit like Fra Amici soon. Getting hungry thinking about it right now

golden arhat,

i train MMA, i've been doing many different martial arts since i was about 7 (i'm 17)
and my current training is just the combination of all my experience

my current trraining recently has prepared me for combat in that we're just pressed to always keep up the attack, go hard no matter what and we're paired with people bigger and stronger than we are when possible, i just do that alot, and so far from all the fights i've been in in real life, i've prevailed.

simple really

1 + 1 = 2

training to fight = the ability to fight.

I think that bravery is the greatest attribute because without the others don't exist.

If you told Chuck Norris that joke he would not laugh

The vast majority do it as a hobby.
A small percentage do it as sport ie: compete.
An even smaller compete at the elite level.
AN even smaller are competitive at the elite level.
An even smaller use it for "self protection" because their career/job demands it.
An even smaller do it at the elite level in terms of self protection.
An even smaller do it as teachers at the various elite levels.
And an even smaller percentage do it as MA warriors, people that fight to improve/develop/test/innovate their MA skills and systems.

In regards to violent confrontations, those are far and few between.
I am not talking about getting into fights, I am talking about our life on the line.
For those people that are exposed to that on a regular basis, MA training, to an extent, is irrelevant ( you will find people in this area of all systems of combat), what is crucial is experience and mindset.

agreed.

If you gave Chuck Norris laughing gas he wouldn't laugh.
