CrazyMartialArtsGuy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Does any one on this forum take part in any form? I myself am currently an aikido student, I've just started to get the hang of the moves and remembering them. I would like to discuss other things but I have noticed something and that is that people who usually attend, at least people around the teen years are what society would consider almost ugly, or nerdy, maybe even slightly over weight(i'm not bashing anyone or trying to hurt anyone's feelings, like i said by society's standards) are the only people you see attended. Myself well I have thought I have always been very average (just a little two skinny but I'm weight lifting now so that will go away) and on a good day just above average in the looks department. I'm just wondering? why does it seem that people "beautiful" are rare to see in a martial arts class. Are they just to involved in there social lives to care about being able to protect themselves or what? Just something I've noticed at least around my state anyway. What are others thought on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguinettiMods Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I've never actually taken part in any sort of class, but around 2nd to 5th grade (I'm in 8th currently), I lived at a house where my dad kept a whole ton of PVC pipe in the garage. Whenever I was bored outside I would take a couple of them and practice "Sword Fighting" and when I had one of the longer ones, I'd use it like a bow staff. I always thought of it as a game, however, I really did benefit from it because my accuracy is a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armos Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I've really been into Martial Arts since I was a kid. I never could take the classes because we couldn't afford the classes. I've participated in a Karate class before a couple months ago through a 2 day trial. I must say, it is a life changing experience. They teach you how to defend your self and teach you to respect others. It's a pretty good atmosphere learning the way of the martial art. I'm planning on getting a job so I can pay for my classes. The instructor was a really nice guy there. Hopefully I can start learning again. Its fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much agreed, it teaches other things besides defending yourself like self control, respect others, and so much more. Im currently in college and we have an Akido club that costs 10 bucks a semester to join! if your a student of course. Its something i recomend everyone do.
