The only fights outside of MA I have ever lost are with my wife. This week I lost a fight and my balls simultaneously.

Reasons to avoid sleeping with Joe...in no particular order;
Litigation is expensive
hospitals are expensive
funerals are expensive
people might miss you if you get killed
getting handcuffed by Joe isn't a pleasant experience
no fun even if the stay is short
retaliation
Looking over your shoulder all the time grates on one's nerves
ripped and bloody clothes aren't badges of honor
chicks really don't dig scars
The only fight I got involved in was when I was bullied during recess at primary school. I was 7 I think. I became a wimp after that for 6 years til I learnt MA at 13. With the newfound skill and confidence, I thought I could stand up to any school bully. I was at least ready to put up a fight for it. Nobody tried to pick on me after that eventhough I was so eager for a chance. Even the bully who whacked me at 7 became a friend. We became teammate in a debating team that represent the school.
MA gives you that self confidence that exudes a certain aura of strength in your character. As a martial artist you can always tell if the person in front of you is trained or untrained by the way he walks or stands or the gaze in his eyes. This strength in character could be the reason why nobody tried to bully me ever.
I am 39 now. I got more skillful at hand to hand and learnt to use weapons. I never had to use my MA to fight.
Those who normally look for slightest opportunity to fight are not taught any kind of MA at all. They learn to fight on the street. No MA instructor in his mind advocates violence eventhough he teaches a violent art.

I can honestly say that every fight I have been in since becoming an adult, I have WANTED to be in. I USUALLY try to avoid fights....However, when I feel fairly certain that I can win, I try REALLY hard to avoid it. For the simple reason that litigation is expensive.
