Re: Martial arts/fighting thread

Yeah. Even when I practiced techniques or did "sparring" with partners in the aikido and karate classes, I never had a sense that I was actually becoming a strong fighter who could hold her own in a real fight. Not that aikido and karate inherently are unable to do that, I just think it's how the classes are often taught (more focus on pattern/forms than serious sparring). Also, I hate to say this, but if you go to an MMA or boxing class, you're going to get more people on average who are really serious and strong athletes. I think Asian martial arts classes, you're going to get a higher proportion of nerds, at least in the west.

I think its more of a McDojo problem than a nerd thing.
