It is dangerous out there and especially for you.
The enemy may be next door and you don't know it but you got to have the guts to look. What can you really do once you see some violence or get scared or worse because you receive a bashing or king hit - do you hide in your house?
The danger today is maybe not too obvious to you but you better hone your sensors or you'll get hit without seeing it coming.
You know that given a situation to be a hero and stop a crime, terrorism or violence you'll be able to step up or chase after them etc - or maybe you'll cower or be the victim.
TV today scares the shiit out of many people as it promotes violence and turns the meek yellow and nervous.
Were are you on the scared meter of life? Are you out there amongst it or a bit of a shy body or house mummy's boy?
PHYSICAL COMPETENCE
Have you ever seen raw bloodlust or someone getting 'owned'? Just search google for "martial street fights" - "martial owned" Watch those movies and cringe!!!
Kung Fu, Boxing, dancing, ballet, incompetence? What will you display to your attacker?
Today we are lazy, probably fat too. Go look in the mirror and skip for ten minutes, then check your image again and what do you see?
I can judge I am probably half the strength and endurance form 10 years ago, how about you?
Can you throw a punch or even stand steady on one leg? can you do a round-house or even give a kick to the knee? Ever heard of a combination?
MARTIAL KNOWLEDGE
a martial art is defined as -
1 : of, relating to, or suited for war or a warrior
2 : relating to an army or to military life
3 : experienced in or inclined to war : WARLIKE
a martial art is defined as:
various forms of self-defense,
usually weaponless,
based on techniques developed in ancient China, India, and Tibet.
If you’ve never studied a martial art, your awareness of the most likely starts at Bruce Lee movies and ends with the stylized theatrics of The Matrix. If that’s the case, you may not realize from what you’ve gleaned onscreen that there are an estimated 200 unique kinds of martial arts, and within these, thousands of different styles. Karate, judo, kung fu, and tae kwon do are among the most popular and well-known of the martial arts in the U.S., but there are numerous others.
Despite the array of martial arts and styles, most of them share common techniques, and so they can be organized into broad categories that facilitate understanding. The primary way of classifying martial arts is by the basic physical technique they use: striking or grappling.
Do you even know the difference between kung fu and karate? Do you think wing chun is a Chinese dish?
Or a combination of triangles with small circles as can be seen in Chinese trapping, wrist locks or Aikido entry and endings.
Because karate, judo, kung fu, and tae kwon do have been more prominent than other forms in popular culture, from film to sporting events, many people mistakenly believe that all martial arts are Asian in origin. In fact, diverse cultures throughout history from Europe, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East have also given birth to their own martial art forms.
The different styles can even be related to shapes or geometry - squares, triangles and circles.
MARTIAL TRAINING TO LIVE
Training is hard..really hard. The hardest is to get started and its down-hill easy from there. What you need is a martial arts machine - something new and exciting to get you off your fat ass.
Everyone knows someone who knows how to fight - with fists, knives, weapons, guns, tactical, senseless, whatever but START!
What's important now is to do something, start with brief exercise, get into stretching, shadow box, then step up and train hard.
GO to the local phone book and look up kung fu or karate. Then give them a call, go along or take your kid.
CONCLUSION IS ACTION
Life is not scary but maybe your lack of skill, self-confidence and personal competence is making you afraid.
Be pro-active and look, then choose and participate in action whether alone with a martial arts training machine or go to a dojo.
If you are not liking what you see in the mirror, afraid to go down a dark street, scared of a potential confrontation then train now.
We can't all be Bruce Lee but you also don't want to be an emotional and physical punching bag do you?
Be pro-active and look, then choose and participate in action whether alone with a martial arts training machine or go to a dojo.
