I’m 26 years old and have had about seven years of martial arts training and earned my black belt. I’ve never actually gotten in a real fight past the age of maybe 10, so I don’t know for sure how I would fare if I ever had to fight. I feel like I should probably be able to do well in a fight, given my training. BUT…. Whenever I happen to sort of play-fight with friends or anyone, I immediately realize that I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. You’d think I’d have all these moves to pull on people who have had no fighting training. Yet, as I play-fight, I feel like I have no tricks up my sleeves what-so-ever and that my friends (who are all about my same size and have had no fighting training) are an even match for me.

Does anyone else with fighting training ever feel like this or do you always feel a distinctive edge over people if you ever play-fight or joke around at all with fighting? Is there something wrong with my training or something? I’ve had TONS of experience sparring.

I am in my early twenties and have been with great interest and very keenly with my friends been practising boxing, judo and we are always horsing around sparring punching, perfecting techniques, talking about it and throwing one another!

the other day however i was in the shop queuing to make a purchase their was another shopper behind me who for some reason started to act very very aggressive against this woman.

I know race doesnt have much to do with it. The dude was tall, strong and black and very aggressive against this little woman shouting, swearing and saying how he "hates white honkeys" and how white women are now his @itches.

all the other shoppers just were looking on helplessly. This dude was right behind me. i completly froze like lockdown i couldnt move with fear, he barged me and punched the lady in the nose before running out of the shop and stealing the jacket he had.

Now why didnt my martial arts training prepare me for this, why didnt my body allow me to speak up for her and restraint this jerk? That night i cancelled going to dojo and instead considered burning my Gi and all my belts, boxing gloves. Thinking what a waste of time i am.

I know i probably sound like a coward what would you have done? Please be real would you have frozen with fear in a real situation and how could i prepare for it next time?

(please i am not a violent person looking for fights i only learn it for fun, exercise and self defence like this situation)

One of the supposed benefits of training in a martial art – classical or modern – is that it builds or instills character traits such as: discipline, respect, integrity, etc. But I was wondering if it’s the other way around: that martial arts training reveals the practitioner’s character.

So, could it be that a long time martial artist does not become disciplined, but he/she sticks around for a long time because he/she is essentially a disciplined person, and can therefore better fit in – and even enjoy – the structured training regimen of the art? (Same thing for being honorable, respectful, etc.)

What do you think?

Hi, I am looking for a good Martial Arts training DVD that I can do at home when I am not in the studio. I am looking for something that has parts that are bit fast paced so I get some cardio, but also has some things for technique as well. You know something good but is not "Tae Bo"

My son is only 2 years old now . But I am thinking in the future when he grows up to enroll him in martial arts training. I’m thinking karate or something of this sort. What is the best age to start for him.? What kind of martial atrs style is preferable and why? I can see a lot of benefits of such training for a boy, but Is there any negative sides of it that I should keep in mind?
Thank you!
