By robert on Friday, October 03, 2008 - 03:38 pm: Edit Posthave you learned anything else from martial arts, besides how to fight?
I have, but i would like to hear your story first.
By William on Saturday, October 04, 2008 - 12:12 am: Edit PostRobert, besides learning how to kick some butt. I have learnt about the historical background of these systems, become a friend of many martial arts scholars, having the chance to visit places in China with a rich cultural heritage, learn from excellent teachers like Tim and the best of all married a wonderful Chinese girl!
What else can I ask? Cheers

Indeed, judo, bjj, etc. are excellent methods of learning humility.
By Tim on Sunday, October 05, 2008 - 02:54 am: Edit PostWell put Sugarshrimp.

I will only add; better at keeping my cool in a stressful situation as well.

It's just a vehicle for continued growth - and chicks...
Bob#2 is a F*&^$in' ZEN MASTER!!!
If I was a chick, I'd be all over him...

Something else Bob#2 learned from a life of martial arts; Bob#2 REALLY likes it when dames call Bob#2 "Master"
