Good Ideas for the Martial Arts

[ppko]

Well we got a dumb ideas for the Martial Arts lets get some good ideas also, I will start

The sharing of different arts.

 

[Sam]

is this supposed to be things that ARE currently good: "All the sources you can use that were not available in the past - books, videos, internet...etc"

Or things that WOULD be good: "No more my style is better than yours!"

[Sam]

Sharring your wisdom with all that enters your Dojaang

Using martial arts to better yourself and help others instead of making money and selling out, though it would be easy to do that.

Damm, beat me too it
Friendship, while different in styles, opinions.

To me one of the best things about Martial Arts is that it can improve your life in many ways. Definitely physical fitness and the sense of belonging and friendship, but then there's the beating on each other or beating on the heavy bags, and that part helps channel our aggression hopefully making us more disciplined and patient outside the studio. The sharing of ideas and philosophies via the internet and at seminars where different arts are represented is great too. Also, bringing awareness to people about their own personal safety and the sense of empowerment you get from training that tells you you're worth fighting for.

 

[Sin]

The abolition of "Mcdojos"

and...

The Rank of Black belt's reputation be restored

 

[TigerWoman]

Humility. If you haven't integrated the concept of humility yet into your psyche and your martial art doesn't teach you about it, you learn it the hard way. The best martial artists are those that don't have to say they are or insist on their "way". They are open-minded individuals. They are those that admit that they are sometimes wrong. The best MA leaders lead by example.

Oh, and puzzle mats are right up there too. TW

I enjoy the camaraderie of the training hall. Each individual has their own goals and motivations for training, but we are together during class for each other.

As far as material improvements, I agree that the puzzle mats have saved my knees and back. I also enjoy BOB and Wavemasters.
