- Anyway, what I was trying to say is that trained MA's stay calm
- in this sort situations. So you don't have to 'use' your art
- physically (eg punching) to be able to say 'I have experienced
- some very positive results because of my training'.
-
- Duh, does this still make any sense to anyone :-) ?

- Absolutely. The last fight I was in was when I was a 14 year old
- yellow belt, 20 years ago. But when people ask me If I've ever
- used my training, the answer is yes, nearly every day of my life.
