Martial Arts are for wusses who were bullied in school!?

Since when have you ever seen anyone on the street strike one of the gay poses you see looking into the window of a Martial Arts class? Either you kick *** or you don't. If you do you can learn to refine your fighting style through restraining moves and practicing kicks etc but if your some nerdy white office worker afraid of being mugged and now feel all confident you can whip *** if needed let's see it. The only you could hope to accomplish is catching an attacker of guard for second and then your butt better run. For the most part Martial Arts are ballet for girlie men!

Martial Arts are for wusses who were bullied in school!?
all I can say is when you are educated come back and ask it again. Until you walk in our shoes you cannot clearly or fairly indicate why people take MA. They join for many reasons, bullying in school is a VERY MINOR reason people join. Check your facts before spewing mis information. I have no problem explaining to someone the benefits of MA but usually to someone who has an appeciation to learn.





I can tell you don't really want to learn but just bash peoples answers that you do not agree with, It is that obvious and I only answered to call you on it. I expect a thumb down from you because that is what you want to do.





REAL MA do not strike poses in a real life situation, only 8 months ago I had a man begging me not to break his arm over a restaurant table because he grabbbed my shoulder from behind hard and squeezed at a restaurant and i did not know him or his intent, he was lucky I gave him the option of it being broken or not. he luckily for his sake opted to back off hence he kept his arm in tact.





There was no stances other than sitting down or poses it was all natural instinct. so again once you have educated yourself on the subject and have some proof and evidence of this wild claims of absurdity keep studying until you do! then maybe you will understand.


for the most part UNEDUCATED MEN are the type to call others wussies because they are too insecure and have to draw attention away from their deficiency and point at what they perceive or often make up for another to draw attention away from their uneducated beings.





so I know that went over your head but the other MA in here understood me and that is all that matters.





I have not been in high school for more than 2x the years it takes to complete it all and i will tell you NO ONE CARES about what happens to HS and such...you are all still kids in our eyes and have much maturing still to do and you just proved it!





I was also a former member of the USA NATIONAL MARTIAL ARTS TEAM. Ever watch Best of the Best??? I fought like they did full contact and it was hardly for wusses but i suppose if you play football and drink beer and get over weight and abuse your wife and family that makes you a man right? I can see your future already.





only bullies are wusses because they are insecure period as you appear to be or why say what you did unless you are feeling insecure when you wrote it. wow your so easy to explain but then again not much info to put together the life of some one under 18 they just have not lived long enough to make any impact yet and be noticed, if thats what your doing trying to be noticed all you did was look more a fool for it, not a man.





Real men do not bash one another other than in the ring or to protect their lives or loved ones lives. THat is hardly a wussy thing to want to be able to do. Cant wait to see how your football training is gonna save you then!!
Reply:If you've got your fighting skills down pat anyways, then just don't take martial arts.
Reply:I have a 9-3 mauy thai record. I have a 3 yr grappling back ground. I've bounced in bars for the past 2 yrs. I'm 6'1", 180lbs. I belive some martial arts are usefull. What's your question?
Reply:Not true. I thought it was a waste of time at first. But my cousin has been training for years and I'm amazed at how well he can fight. The poses you see are essential for quick movements, and proper techniques allow for stronger defenses/attacks.
Reply:Maybe your one of those ballet girlie men.
Reply:Spoken like a true ignoramus who has never taken a class in their life.
Reply:I have always considered Martial Arts as a way to "level the playing field'.


At 5'6" and 134 lbs. I am a smaller/lighter guy.


Bullies and jerks tend to be larger guys that pick smaller guys to beat up.


I can't say that I have always come out on top when up against 6' 270lb opponents but I have held my own,and had a couple back off when they could see I knew how to defend myself.


My view is that Martial Arts are great for smaller/lighter people who need some skills to help level the playing field when they become the target of a mugger,rapist or weirdo
Reply:Im only asuming your a man sense your calling everyone a girlie man......what kind of man is named Sarah lololol

OK but seriously take some muay Thai classes and then see how much of a better fighter u will become (muay thai is a good style for "fighters")
Reply:i know how you feel,


hope you dont run into a pro though.


sounds like you might be good at martial arts, maybe you should go by a school and share ideas with them.
Reply:Thanks for the two points.
Reply:your definition of martial arts is way off. All fighting styles are a martial art. Thats the definition. I reccommend you watch some MMA(mixed martial arts) and then say u could kick anyone who does martial arts' *** because technically if u have had any unarmed combat training, you are practicing a martial art. I do agree that stances are stupid for the nerdy white guys who weight 90 pounds and obviously don't have any real strength/agility but skill is important and i guarentee you that someone with some jiujitsu and boxing could totally kick your *** even if they weighed 3/4 of your weight. I've seen it before.





I will say that karate alone will not train you for a real fight. I've seen countless karate blackbelts lose to someone with no training whatsoever. The thing is that karate has been way too commercialized. It will slightly improve your striking but there are many other martial arts that are better for street fighting.





you probably suck at fighting and any one with training at all who was your size could kick your ***, as you would say.
Reply:depending on how you train martial arts can greatly help your fighting skills: many military forces teaches martial arts or aspects of several martial arts in their training such as krav maga





pro fighters learn martial arts to compete im pretty sure a pro boxer, thai boxer, mma fighter etc... wouldnt be considered a "girlie man"





but its true that SOME martial arts are mainly fitness and lack realistic training. as long as you recieve practical training against a resisting opponent simulating a real fight as closely as possible you are going to be able to defend yourself pretty well on the streets against the average joe
Reply:i would like you try to say that to any ufc fighter they will knock you out so fast you would think you got raped by a man
Reply:I agree to an extent, I am a boxer which some people consider a martial art but I don't but that is beside the point. I have seen alot of pretenders who think they are Bruce Lee and have got their *** whiped by guys from my gym. I think the ultimate self defence is boxing but that is my own bias oponion. People do martial arts for a number of reasons; spiritual, fitness, not just so they can take somone out. Martial arts are used by the police and military all round the world so there must be somthing to it. You obviously know nothing about martial arts or you would not be making such a stupid statement so you better get back into bed and turn the lights off, I think I can hear your moma coming up the stairs.





ps. I would like to see how you fear against an experienced Jujitsu practitioner.
Reply:Martial Arts is for those who want to take it....... I say things before I think about saying anything and I use to get my *** kicked so I took martial arts, now I have more stronger punches
Reply:Alot of the time people DO take up martial art because they get bullied and its meant to turn you into a stronger person, however sometimes it makes you worse
Reply:To be honest, I was never bullied in school. I wasn't the popular type, either, but definitely not a target of bullies. The "poses" you see aren't for use on the street, so that's why you don't see them. And, if all it takes is to catch an attaker off guard so you can get away, that's what martial arts training is for!
Reply:hey i guess you never saw the ufc then bro?? your right most martail arts are useless. taekwondo might be good for kicks but if someone grabs you your dead meat. kung fu is a joke as is tai chi and alot of others! however this is not the case for every martail art! not all arts include a 120lb man in a white suite saying high--yaaaaaaaa! if ya no what i mean! have you ever heard of jujitsu? jujitsu teaches you how to fight on the ground how to break peoples arms legs and how to choke people out. how to put people to sleep. boxing and kickboxing loose 99.9% of the time against brazilian jujitsu. wrestling (as in high school wrestling not gay tna and wwe) is also very good for fighting.





i was a boxer at the age of 13 just to teach me dicipline. i boxed for 3 years and had a record of 16-2-4 and but to me i knew boxing was boring and getting punched in the head wasnt all that much fun you know. i took up muay thai but i found that after two years it was just like boxing you get hit too ******* much and you dont need it. now for two years i have been doing jujitsu and altho it involves wrestling with other men as long as you are comfortable with your sexualtiy then its grand! as for 100lb men beating 200lb men that doesnt happen unles the 100lb man is a little monkey and has incredible jujitsu.





i get what your saying about people being bullied in school but i dont necessarily agree! while some people in martial arts have been bullied it only applies to some! but everybody was picked on at some time! so what! i mean alot of todays serious criminals were sexual abuse victoms so we can be happy at least all those bullied people dont turn to crime.


as for nerdy office worker afraid of being mugged they too often are too stupid to know what the real definsive martial arts are! kung fu wont stop you being whupped!


thats just how its is. nobody can pull that crap off on the street. if you want to know about jujistu go watch spike tv.


and i know it looks gay but if you an attacker thing this is gay then hey thats fine but you can laugh while you sleep. i know like it sounds like im talking crap but its proven that jujistu beats street fighters and boxers every time.


check it out! oh and nerds should check it out too cause kung fu karate and taekwondo wont do crap for you
Reply:Well Sarah A, you are either an ignorant tw*t, a pretty dumb dildo of sorts (maybe one of those bullies), or you are just trying to take the p*ss.


If later is the case then congratulations, you have done well judging by the number of answers.


Other than that I'm sure there are plenty of girlie men out there ready to take your challenge...
Reply:Many were. Me, I'm a pacifist.
Reply:I can see you know very little about martial arts other than what you have watched on television or seen in the movies. You must also believe that "Smokey and the Bandit" and the "Adams Family" are real also and you should make someone a great girlfriend or wife someday-NOT!


Whats your real problem-did your martial arts boyfriend break up with you for one of his classmates or something?
Reply:You have a point. Unfortunately, some unfortunate souls end up with a school who's out to make money. They talk a good game, instill you with confidence, never get you real sparring time or tournament competition, then they get their ***** kicked because they can't take a punch. Obviously, you've been fighting those guys.
Reply:is educating yourself to combat. the average person on the street has no idea what hes doing and is even laughable most of the time. While some may be decent fighters with out martial training they have no idea what they would be capable of if they learned to focus their power. in reference to the smaller vs. bigger argument. look at the first ufc and tell me who dominated. the average size guy usually beat the bigger stronger guy. just look up royce gracie.
Reply:Martial Arts is for wusses but starting fights on Yahoo Answers makes you SO cool.
Reply:Your question is WHAT, exactly?





I've been training in TKD for a while now, I was never bullied in school, I was pretty much left alone.





Why do you hate the martial arts anyway. Are you a troll?
Reply:i didnt read the whole thing because ur an idiot martial arts teaches self discipline and you dont see it on the streets because it teaches you to use it constructivley and defensively dumbass





******* who re
Reply:if you pull a pose you are a dikhead for sure.





but Sarah A, is A for Anus?
Reply:straight up. there's allot of little wanna bees out there that want to be the next Bruce lee or some ****. But I box and train intensively, its not just a career its a life style, and its considered a martial art too so are you callin me a woosie ballet girlie man cause I'd rip out your throat and strangle you with it... : )
