why did all of you get into martial arts?

ewod · 07-19-2003, 01:03 AM

to help yourself get in shape or for self-defense or what?

So I could kick the crap out of Steven Seagal.

no need to be angry sir...opinions are opinions...

I'm not angry ewok, but facts are facts too.

Fat guys cannot beat heavyweight boxing champions.

And Steven Seagal can't even beat Gary Busey in a real fight---Under Seige was B.S. And I actually took up martial arts to be more like Gary.

why do you keep bringing up weight? seagal would make your boy lewis look like the amateur that he really is...

RobertG · 07-19-2003, 01:36 AM

Because Seagal is 300 pounds of lard.

Omg i cant believe they called they ended that fight because of his eye. he should be the new champ. i think lewis paid some people off or something.

this could be a part of my signature: "Look at the state of his face! " thats' something lennox repeated over and over ..but eh.. i'll take the guy with a PHd and his opinion more .. clearly though klitschko was winning and now i don';t mind seeing Lennox getting beaten up. . .now it was either comical or arrogant for him to take the mic from larry merchant.. but i'll leave that to every one else

Steven Seagal is a loser.He was married to one of the prettiest women in show biz,Kelly LeBrock and he beat her.
That must take years of training to perfect that art.

HAPPY JACK · 07-19-2003, 11:26 AM

I STARTED MARTIAL ARTS WHEN I BECAME A PRISON OFFICER.
I WORKED ON THE RESPONSE UNIT, SO WE HAD A FULL TIME INSTRUCTOR ON SHIFT EVERY DAY.OUR SHIFTS OVERLAPED SO WE WERE REQUIRED TO TRAIN AT LEAST 2 HOURS A DAY THAT WE WERE ON SHIFT.
AFTER 8 YEARS IN THE JOB I PAID OFF MY HOUSE, SO I QUIT.
NOW I TRAIN 6 DAYS A WEEK SOMETIMES UP TO 4 CLASSES A DAY.
IT HELPS TO KEEP YOU WIRED AND ALSO KEEPS THE FITNESS UP.

I think you'll find most teens & kids get involved for fitness, discipline and self-defense. Adults get into it for the same reasons plus stress release and associating with people like themselves.

Career wise, you find a huge variation of people in MA gyms; construction worker, police officer, college students, musicians and lawyers.

A person who joins a martial arts class and stays for a while is generally an open minded person, shows discipline and maybe courage, especially if sparring - you can't fake your way in an MA class, you either know it or you're learning.

After spending 8 hrs a day with folks who show the exact opposite traits, its probably a suitable after work environment. The office has a lot of smoke and mirrors but the gym has more blood and sweat
