Actually, on the contrary, taking a martial arts class is one of the best things a child can do when it comes to being bullied. Any respectable dojo will teach you that fighting should always be a last resort, and that there are no winners in a fight. The winner is the person who chooses to avoid the conflict altogether. The purpose of learning the style is so that if you are in a situation where you CAN'T avoid it, you have a better chance of reducing damage to yourself.

This is a very well done documentary. As well, they explain things correctly and thoroughly. For those that insult traditional arts and do not understand them, this is a great video to refer them to.

The good thing about "Karate" is that you will understand the "pain", so you will not hurt somebody unnecessarily...

If one could look beyond politics, egos and half truths, Higaonna Sensei stands at a very high place representing Okinawa GojuRyu......Jundokan should stand very proud.

Wow that looks tough.

@cjmayville He is right. You guys need to shut up and learn to speak respectfully. It's ok to make your oppinion known.

[cjmayville]

I find it hard to believe that practitioners with decades of dedicated experience would get on youtube and profanely and personally attack someone for disagreeing with their martial arts opinion. In as much as your attitude suggests you're a liar, your written expressions also suggests you are ignorant.

just because there should be no competition doesn't mean there won't be a lot of sparring, even with other styles. This is common practice. But the purpose of sparring is to get better, not to win. That's the principle difference.

@Ruthairat there is a flip side to having talent and training into the more mature years of your life. my ability and body are stronger than my limitations and i find myself injuring myself. so i must understand stillness and meditative practices. it has changed my fighting and training methods profoundly. the worser thing still is when you have an injury it takes so damn long to recover and you wind up missing out on valuable time. so, your skill might deteriorate accordingly.

[Ruthairat]

@opticannon That is very true. I have talent as well and found it easy to advance. Those who find it hard train 3 times harder than me and don't crack under pressure. Now I don't have talent and have to train harder to adance.

So in other words he would be fine with competition as long as it was full contact
