Martial Motivations

It’s a touchy subject any time we talk about someone’s personal reasons for study the arts. The reasoning is usually packed with emotion.

Have you thought about your personal martial goal?

Which of these various martial arts goals motivates you:

* To defend yourself in a fight at a party

* To enter (win) competitions

* To get/stay in shape

* To better understand the mind-body connection

Is yours a self-defense goal?
Personally, I have no interest in martial-arts competitions (except to study them for the intellectual exercise). I study and practice martial arts for personal self defense. I want to be able to defend myself and my loved ones.

Is it possible to be a grappler and train injury free? By some reactions that I’ve received in the past, many tend to think that grappling “injury-free” is very possible. Some grapplers like to believe that most injuries could be avoided if training partners were more considerate and less competitive while training.

When someone tells you they study karate, or any Japanese martial art, your first question is probably, “What belt are you?” If they say black belt, then no doubt you’re thoroughly impressed. However, if they say white belt, you might simply nod, tell them that’s very interesting and wish them luck with their martial art training. What many people tend to forget is that those impressive black belts had to start somewhere.
