learning martial arts but never using it in the real world.

[dusty2]

it just plains suck when you spent lots of money on these classes and you can do these kicks so well but you never get the chance to use your new found skills on anyone in the real world.it's just a waste of time if you ask me.

 

[cccp]

bro, just go to a club, and try to get into a fight. mmm.. actually try to find a cause for a fight - like protecting someone or something. fuck, forget it. don't get into a fight unless you have too.

 

[Lift Chief]

Ill fight you.

 

[dusty2]

Ill fight you.

you know martial arts? if yes . bring it on! if not? i'm not beating you to a plump.

your martial arts training will do you no good when you've got a guy like me throwing trash cans at your head. that's how i like to fight. i don't care how much kata you do in preparation...i'll send you to a place ten times more spiritual once i'm done assaulting you with waste receptables provided by your city.

I prefer beer pitchers over trash cans. Empty ones that is.

Daniel LaRusso: Hey - you ever get into fights when you were a kid?
Miyagi: Huh - plenty.
Daniel LaRusso: Yeah, but it wasn't like the problem I have, right?
Miyagi: Why? Fighting fighting. Same same.
Daniel LaRusso: Yeah, but you knew karate.
Miyagi: Someone always know more.
Daniel LaRusso: You mean there were times when you were scared to fight?
Miyagi: Always scare. Miyagi hate fighting.
Daniel LaRusso: Yeah, but you like karate.
Miyagi: So?
Daniel LaRusso: So, karate's fighting. You train to fight.
Miyagi: That what you think?
pondering
Miyagi: Then why train?

If the art is some shorin-ryu, or other bullshit traditional karate...stay the fuck out of fights!!! Unless you have some grappling to go with the striking, and your striking is tight and well-practiced (as in low leg kicks, elbows, knees....no jumping spin kick bullshit that only works in movies), your martial arts training is next to useless against a good fighter.

 

[dusty2]

anyone knows kung-fu?

 

[canadianhitman]

kung-fu??? What is this, the seventies???

 

[sk*]

There are so many benefits to it. Fighting is not even up there on my list.

I really want to start taking some classes.

sk*....don't waste your time or effort on some bullshit art. Go to the best jiu-jitsu school in your area, and you'll learn an art that is both a phenominal workout AND will be useful should push come to shove.

How much are classes on average? How often do I need to go train? How long are the sessions?

I'm sure I can search for it online, but oh well lol.

I'm looking for something that will be fun and will make me an all around strong person.

Thanks.
