    Forgetting the "Martial" in "Martial Artist"

  • #2
    i don't care about the martial ...

    i'm real nice to everyone in my spot of martial practice...and am not cocky about nothing.. i'm there to learn..

    but really i could care less about the "martial" in arts..
    i probably have it but don't know it..

    but i'm a foul mouth, cursing, having fun, ass, modern thinking, bjj attitude ass, type of guy...


    no disrespect ment to phil sharp

    he's a coo cat.. and the artical was nice..

      Thanks for sharing your article. I agree with a lot of what you wrote, but in the end people have their own iinterpretation of what it means.

      I don't care if I am called a Martial Artist or a Fighter, it won't be any different, it won't secure my life and lead me to many victories. I'll still be me, just using my body and mind as a tool to survive. Some people decided to use it to earn rank, wealth power and position. But it it isn't what its supposed to be about. Its about self defense. Kung Fu started in China by poor people, they studied secretly.. to defend themself against the government's army or pirates (sorry i am not good with history) when deem necessary. Not to wage war. I think its a way of life, you get your mentality and body conditioned and you understand yourself and u know your chances of survival. Basically pushing yourself to your limits. You know what to do and what not to do. It will not only help you in the survival part of your life, but the other parts of your life where you come into struggles too. You will not be afraid of fear.

      In this day and age, some people use it for personal profit of... power, wealth, position, rank etc... they are those who fears... but still they might own me.
