Can You Even Throw a Punch?
When the World Turns VIOLENT! I bet you run.
IT'S DANGEROUS OUT THERE
It is dangerous out there and especially for you.
The enemy may be next door and you do not know it, but you got to have the guts to look. What can you do once you see some violence or get scared or worse because you receive a bashing or king-hit - do you hide in your house?
You know that given a situation to be a hero and stop a crime, terrorism, or violence you will be able to step up or chase after them, etc. - or maybe you will cower or be the victim.
The danger today is not too obvious to you, but you better hone your sensors, or you’ll get hit without seeing it coming.
PHYSICAL COMPETENCY
Have you ever seen a raw attack or someone getting 'owned'? Just search google for "martial street fights" - "martial owned" Watch those movies and cringe!!!
Kung Fu, Boxing, dancing, ballet, incompetence? What will you offer to your attacker?
I can judge I am probably half the strength and endurance from 10 years ago, how about you?
Can you throw a punch or even stand steady on one leg? can you do a roundhouse or even give a kick to the knee? Ever heard of a combination?
MARTIAL KNOWLEDGE
If you have never studied a martial art, your awareness of them most likely starts at Bruce Lee movies and ends with the stylized theatrics of The Matrix. If that is the case, you may not realize from what you have gleaned onscreen that there are an estimated 200 unique kinds of martial arts, and within these, thousands of distinctive styles. Karate, judo, kung fu, and tae kwon do are among the most popular and well-known martial arts in the U.S., but there are numerous others.
Despite the array of martial arts and styles, most of them share common techniques, and so they can be organized into broad categories that facilitate understanding. The primary way of classifying martial arts is by the basic physical technique they use: striking or grappling.
The unique styles can even be related to shapes or geometry - squares, triangles, and circles.
MARTIAL TRAINING TO LIVE
Training is hard. Really hard. The hardest is to get started and it is downhill easy from there. What you need is a martial arts machine - something new and exciting to get you off your fat ass.
What is important now is to do something, start with a brief exercise, get into stretching, shadow box, then step up and train hard.
GO to the local phone book and look up kung fu or karate. Then give them a call, go along, or take your kid.
CONCLUSION IS ACTION
Life is not scary, but your lack of skill, self-confidence, and personal competence is making you petrified.
Be pro-active and look, then choose and participate in action whether alone with a martial arts training machine or go to a dojo.
