Agreed. Honestly it's very worrying how many people are saying she was right to do it...not just here but all over the Internet.
I'm not a zen martial artist. For things like this honor could be hitting someone in the face for disrespecting you. Honor is not a legal matter. If I went up to my Sifu and talked disrespectfully to him and got in his face, and as a result he punched me in my face, then a person can say that my Sifu did the honorable action. Even though both of the situations are the same. One person punching another for talking smack.
I totally agree and some people are more than happy to accept those consequences.
Adults act like that all the time and they are professionals. I don't know why this is so shocking to you.
Could be either or neither of those options. As with TMA, it depends.
Not shocked simply saying it's dumb and that she's in the wrong and should be charged for it
I'm glad she's being charged as well. I'm all about consequences. I don't young people think that punching someone like that can be done without a cost. It's good lessons on both ends of the conflict. I'm sure one will use more caution when mouthing off and the may use more restraint depending on what she gets as a punishment.
TMAs don't know how to fight anyway...lol. But seriously TMA often practice restraint so that they aren't crippling their fellow classmates. Many of the TMA are full of people who don't want to fight, so it's a different breed of people that we are comparing.
Was comparing the culture within the two tbh.
I've met a lot of a-hole TMA guys in my life. Culture can be broken in any school, in my experience. Depends a lot on the school owner/head instructor. Where the head goes, so goes the body.
Efficacy of the training is beside the point here, in my opinion.
The different types of style means nothing. You're either a good person who doesn't do stupid stuff like that or you're an idiot who gets into fights. You can have both in mma or traditional styles
Don't have an opinion, as I don't know, that's why I'm asking people who do. Plenty of a-holes too n TMA yes, but like I say in TMA there is usually a rules saying you are only allowed to use your skills to protect people etc etcI've met a lot of a-hole TMA guys in my life.

Sounds like you've made up your mind, though.
You can yes absolutely, but usually if you do it in a TMA club you get kick out, just wanted to know if that happens in MMA as well, as we has a local MMA fighter get charged with assault for beating someone up in the street, and his club let him keep training and teaching.
That's more of a myth than anything. I've been in loads of clubs where people have gotten in fights and nothing happens. I mean most times the instructor won't even find out.
Well yes if they don't know, bit hard in this case though when she's all over the net.
And you were given the answer from people who know, but are still going on about it, which leads me to believe you weren't asking a question in good faith.
It's not the training. It's the type of people that are attracted to TMA vs the type of people who are attracted to UFC.
