so take my advise and go learn some real martial arts....

Silat is one of the only martial arts that has been used by native peoples to repel invaders in the last century. I have yet to be taught something in Silat that desembles a caveman art, or something that somehow is not applicable in this day and age. Attacks with knives, swords, sticks, or hands and feet have changed very little since the days of the cavemen, so if it works, I say use it.
BTW, what is your idea of "real martial arts"? Did you have something particular in mind?
