So, I gess that I became not impressed when someone would start telling of how Good their Particular Style was

Thanks for your better explained post. I wasnt trying to be coy with you.

You are quite right that many schools dont prepare one for many experiences.

One of my teachers made us submit martial art thesis(s) for each level from brown and up. We were required to know about other martial arts.

All of these "This vs That" are seemingly "pointless threeads" started by a juvenile mindset.

However, I dont think threads and posts are completely "pointless", as they open up discussions, even if they go off-topic.
