Here is the kicker, non-martial artists follow the same, they are less likely to get into a physical confrontation.

Martial arts seem to be a tool to not get into fights in the first place.

So, the pop quiz question; even if one doesn't train to fight, how is it that they can not get into physical confrontations?
we cpould get into deeper meaning about fighting being good, and or why people fight, and such. but why? we are all martial artists and know fighting on street should be avoided, and most of the time will be avoided.
im asking these questions of fight expieirience for a reason.

to answer your question. as martial artists we know not only how to fight but how not to fight. we train not only how to react in a violent situation, but also how to avoid that situation all together so it never gets violent, or even befriend the possible threat. and much much more.

for future posters. please i do not wish too hear about your ideas of fighting, and if it should happen, and how dangerous fights are. i say this with no ill will, or attitude, i simply wish to hear your combat experience, and training methods. thank you very much.
