martial sparrer
Orange Belt
so right now I am teaching all day, going home taking care of my two children, then I train martial arts movements and exercises a couple times a week. I have been doing this for about 5 years, and now I am sparring with partners at my home. I was looking around for an mma gym, found one, but I have decided to wait until my children are older, maybe in a year. so about December I started visiting one forum and then I started at this one. I thought I would be getting together with great, kind, and supporting martial artists, where I could ask questions and learn. when I came onto the forums I was very surprised to meet many rude and mean spirited people. so I thought it was my lack of knowledge, but then reading through posts I realized that people on these forums are just plain rude and mean-spirited. you can have two blackbelts discussing things but more than not it gets offensive and personal. I find this weird because all the martial artists I have talked to in person and on the forums preach about peace, respect, kindness, responsibility etc. so in fact there are so many martial artists that have failed to gain one of the most important aspects of martial arts: the concept of humility. so then I started thinking...is it only artists on the internet? are you all old and tired and angry at the world? maybe. but again, now I am thinking there are bad artists and good artists....so is this what humanity and society is all about? evil and anger and hate? on a whole other level, evil is taking over this world.....and I think that one day in north America and Europe....people will start attacking Christian churches.....and then the real trouble begins.....so now I think I am going to get off the forums and train my movements....I was so much more positive back then. and again....you can reply with "yes your stupid, yes you don't know anything....your posts are unintelligent"......but remember....you blackbelts attack each other when you should be a family of humility and justice....so....are you lacking something as martial artists? when yu get your blackbelt do you think your better than everybody? or it this about society being messed up?
