Yeah, ur right, something about MA really does stop the fighting. before i started, i used to get into all kinds of hell. after i got to a certain point in my training, i just didnt fight. some ppl consider it cowardly, but i disagree. ive hade ppl insult me or threaten me. Once in Sweden i was forced to sit next to a drunk Finnish guy on a crowded bus for 1hr while he kept yelling at me about how he was going to kick my ass.lol. Words dont hurt, they dont cut, they dont bruise, thus they dont matter. Pride has nothing to do with other ppls opinions. Strength is from not being controlled or having ones emotions (eg.anger) played against oneself. Now of course if somebody makes the move to hurt my family or me, thats a whole different story. That Finn didnt know it, but hade he moved a muscle in a threatening way, there would have been a 44penny weight class ring where his left eye was and a HRT boot knife under his kneecap. Thankfully, i wasnt forced to apply my knowledge. Vigilance never hurt though. U never know when the time comes so its good to have a plan.
My 2 cents.
