Why are modern martial artists against combat.?

[regenweald]

because martial artists are about discipline, self control, respect, honor, spirituality and all that other bullsh*t. You're right about real combat though. COmbat ain't no martial art or fighting system, there is no method or technique. When fighting for your life, you do what you gotta do to survive. That's it. Whatever you gotta do

I have my philosophy in life "you respond to words with words" He insults your mother you insult him worse. There are some exceptions to this but I have yet to encounter such a situation where I couldn't attack as brutally with my words as I do my fists. I have no qualm in defending myself if someone attacks me in a physical manner. That is just my thinking...

I am not a big fan of fighting because all it gives you is a bad reputation, injuries, and trouble with the law... times have changed make sure you change with them for the better.
