Originally posted by Kouch View Postiv been pondering, and what do you guys think makes martial arts different from, say, any kind of sport?
for example, what can you learn through martial arts that you might not pick up doing baseball or football?
what kind of life lessons?
im asking because i get this alot. i have friends or relatives that ask.."well what made you do this over baseball?" "how is getting beat up at practice all the time fun?"
i had my answers. but im curious on your input ;]______

You can't practice Judo just to win a Judo Match! You practice so that no matter what happens, you can win using Judo!The key to fighting two men at once is to be much tougher than both of them.

I'll also toss in a shameless plug for my own contribution.

It's especially good for people who don't have a lot of previous experience with philosophy, as the authors do a good job of introducing the theories with which they approach the martial arts.
