Oh who would've thought another sermon from me. So here's part 2 of my rant. If you want to see part 1 click here!
Anyways. Yet again I have come into contact with people who think martial arts means that you need to be able to kick someone's ass to be a martial artist. How fun.
But there are spiritual aspects of martial arts that are practiced. I don't know what those are but I assume it has to do with positive attitudes or something.
Anyways this may be the last post about martial arts for a while because wow. I am so tired of the meatriders talking about "You're not a martial artist if xyz." It has to be physical type VS.
Before someone comments something. I do martial arts myself-and yes it's mostly the physical aspects of it but damn. That doesn't mean I won't note down that if you practice the spiritual or mental side of it you aren't a martial artist.
The point is if you practice a martial art that isn't 100% physical violence I would still call you a martial artist.
That includes stuff like Tai Chi, Iaido, Bagua, Kendo, and believe it or not even Shao lin Kung Fu has a non violent side to it.
If you are one of those meatriders talking out your ass about how all martial arts are violent. You are ignorant and annoying. Seriously. I hate dealing with this everytime I bring up what "martial arts" means to someone.
