All Martial Arts
All martial arts are not created equal. They all won’t keep you safe from harm and not all of them are products of hundreds of years of development. Not all of them are even made for fighting, and some of them are only meant to be fun. There is no one style that stands out above the rest that will give you everything you want, but some do things better then others. No martial art will let you fly through the air and take on armies of warriors or catch bullets in your teeth. They will give you a better life, but they won’t make you super human and you can die like everyone else. Martial arts are impressive and help you through many of life’s difficulties, but don’t look at martial arts as the be all and end all. There is a lot of life out there to live and you shouldn’t just stay in a martial arts school training all the time.
All martial arts are what you make of them and you should enjoy them – but also enjoy other things. Sure you should do some type of training every day, but if friends want to go out for dinner or god forbid do another sport with you say yes. Go on vacation and read books that have nothing to do with your style, and hang out with your fellow students after class and get to know them. Even the warriors of old who spent everyday striving for perfection had other things in their lives. They raised families, wrote poetry, ran businesses, and created art. It wasn’t all about blood, death, and glory. Martial arts are just one of the many things about the human experience that should be savored. It’s all about living a better life with martial arts.
All martial arts aren’t equal, but it’s up to you the student to decide what you want and how you want to spend your time. You might want to learn a fighting art that teaches you real self defense, or you might want to learn sport martial arts and have fun. Either way you can make your life a little better and have another experience to enjoy. Just don’t be afraid to do other things besides train. There is a lot out there to do so don’t miss out on the fun.
