I guess the billions of people who don't train at all have a pretty messed up life then. I guess only martial artists have a good life. The other 90% of the world is made up of miserable fools. If they only knew what we know...
uh whdayamean? Us true martial artists know better than to use cellphones all the time(especially at gas stations) because we train. We don't use cells while driving. because we train. We don't get into stupid fights because we train. NICE CUBICLE CAN I COME IN?? Gotta make the train. AArrGGHH I'm in gridlock and I'm layin on the horn. I'm busy busy busy carpal tunnel. Some of the things non trainers lose their cool with. or improper trainers as well. the best weapon a true warrior can have nowadays is his/her cell. WHEn used properly
in a way i agree with what you say but IMO MAers only live well because they can find peace through their training and because they learn to control their temper. if an MAer doesnt control their temper it could result in serious injury or death to someone, so that is always at the back of their minds.
I don't really understand the profound meaning of the quote Jurassic Warrior. Perhaps you'd care to explain your interpretation of it to one so uneducated as i?
Or to paraphrase If you put a lot of effort into the things you do, you'll get a lot out of them If you put a bit of effort in, you'll get a bit of out of things. If you put in no effort, you'll have a pretty poor time. Obvious, but probably worth stating nonetheless.
I think you need to drop the idea that martial artists are somehow better/clever people than everyone else. That's simply not true.
I think the point he was trying to make was that how hard we train is a reflection of how we are in real life. For example, someone who puts a lot of effort into training is likely to be a more contientious person in everything he does. Someone who never bothers to train (because he doesn't feel like it rather than time constraints) is more likely to be a lazy person who doesn't give anything in life 100%. Sort of makes sense in a way, but only to a point.
I think Jurassicwarrior is trying to be misterious. The Yody/mr.Miyagi kind of thing. I agree with Kgirl that I sense a feeling of superiority from JW towards non-MA'ists, but I think he brings it in a funny way
us A true martial artist is someone who does the best they can regardless of anyone else. or anything else.
So an carpenter who worked really hard wouldn't get these benefits as well? I don't think i'm better than anyone because I do martial arts. And doing martial arts must have SOME bad effect on you. For instance ruining any martial arts film you watch for everyone by saying how thats wrong, this is too fake etc I still get stressed at things like being stuck in traffic...i don't see how martial arts training will help that. I prefer "train hard, fight easy...."
I'm referring to martial artists. not carpenters. BTW, most people I know critizise modern MA flicks. The old ones are better. Carpenters would probably get these benefits too. I'll have to ask one sometime.
