Why Most Men Don't Train In Martial Arts

[Sonic Boom of the South]

The irony is dude is trying to humble brag.
Martial arts is just that.... Art.
A lot of it in true life or death situations will get you killed.

So you aren't trained to be the aggresor and end someone's life as quickly as possible which is the scenario that matters most.

So many mafukkas trained in martial arts, boxing are immature and never overcame their insecurities and go out starting or looking for fights and end up getting killed.

I'm trained in hand to hand and hand vs weapon combat. A lot of military mafukka would get some of the training then be at a bar or club and start shyt and get jumped by some civilians. Some got shot.

I would never shame someone for their lack of combat skills. They don't need skills to pull that trigger.

Well i dont think ive been a real fight my whole life. But the reason I'm not starting are:

I'm worried I'll walk in and get kicked in the face the first day. Plus, since I work a job with a lot of customers, I can't show up to work with black eyes and a cauliflower ears

I'm a bit older (30)

Cost
Im already tired from my regular lifting routing

You young af breh

fight these hollow tips

all jokes aside, imo most dudes have never been in a fight, especially in this generation, so in their heads when the time comes to catch that fade they'll just try to copy whatever they saw on TV and the movies - - that or they'll "see red" and go off lol

fukk all the excuses you should at the very least... know how to throw and take a punch.

 

[Vandelay]

I don't think it's that deep. More and more people don't like to do physical shyt anymore.

Yeah, there's a lack of talent and tenacity, but in general people rather relax and recline. This world pulls you in so many directions nowadays, physical exertion 3 times a week is too much for some. Not my philosophy, but I don't fault folks.

Is Outworld invading some time soon?

Who needs outworld when earth it self can’t even stop attacking itself.

On a serious note does earth have a 2026 Lui Kang?

Tied a black belt around the stick...now what

 

[CBSwagga]

I mean why even get in a fight in the first place maybe if the motivation to train in MA is to be able to run a successful fade, those ppl don't need to be practicing being grown is being able to avoid all that.

Not on no ish but a true humbling experience is Yoga or anything that works the core intensely...getting winded or not being able to hit full range of motion whenever is a real experience

Nah bro I started seriously training muay thai last summer. Met the Kru 5am in the morning. nikka told me give em 10 laps around the parking lot (one of them lots that house hella stores and a grocery stor) 10 laps probably 3.5 miles. That was warm up before coming in to start training. It gets your mental different to work like that.

The breh's overall viewpoints are spot on.

 

[The Burger King]

I agree with breh in the OP but a lot of it is also what @Sonic Boom of the South said too.

And this is coming from someone who has boxed for awhile now and is looking to start learning Muay Thai.

On one hand, a lot of dudes are just overconfident in their own ability.

They think because they got into a few altercations or because they may have punked a few people in the past that it translates over to actual ability.

Also, as men we are just egotistical and don’t want to admit that we ain’t all as big and bad as we think we are.

But, as my coach told me when I first started, it’s better to take an L in the gym to people who actually want to help you as opposed to taking an L on the streets, should it ever come to that.

On the flip side, there’s a difference between fighting in a controlled environment vs an altercation with a total complete stranger.

You can’t expect a “fair fight” from a hostile stranger, all of your training means not a damn thing if someone pulls out a gun or a knife, or jumps on your ass.

Personally I think men should just train to be better than average on both.

Go to a boxing gym or pick up another combat sport and spar once a week with some guys who know what they’re doing.

Buy some guns and take some classes at a gun range.

6 months of doing both consistently is enough to make you more dangerous and capable of defending yourself from 99% of dudes on the streets, because most guys who have that type of training aren’t looking to start shyt most of the time to begin with.

 

[Sk3ptical]

Because some people actually have shyt to do.

Like go to work and shyt.

Plus all that fighting shyt not gonna stop a bullet.
