Does anyone self-train themselves

[cakegirl]

At my karate school, we play dance music for our high-energy drills - stuff like the theme to the Mission Impossible movies, the techno from Tomb Raider, etc.

Personally I like Heavy stuff not really heavy but more like lets say Duality from Slipknot but I hate the rest of slipknots stuff lol. Anyway yeah I need to start self-training myself maybe in the mornings because well I hear from some people that training in the Mornings is actually better for you.

Not to mention the circuit training if they don't play them back to back.

This is kinda weird to think about but the actual masters did they really teach themselves and not the morden day masters but the old old ones.

think ppl

well you got to think somone had to start all these different arts some time a long ass time ago if they were the first one to start who who the hell taught them so i belive you can teach your self but i also belive u can train one person for 10 days and he will be a good fighter but on the other hand you can train someone for 10 years and he will still suck dick some people are meant to fight and some people are meant to read lol in my opinion

No one "started the arts". People fought before there were any arts. And fighting is all the arts are, in the end. When they get away from fighting, they are getting away from the art. Much as when a painter gets away from painting, he si getting away from the art.

As far as Kata and other aspects that aren't actually fighting are concerned, I don't personally believe they ever should have happened. I believe they are a distortion.
