I'm a Roman Catholic, but there isn't any hard proof that there is a an almighty God, so I'm not religious, but I find Buddhism extremely interesting, and the amazing feats that the Shaolin Monks can do based on their beliefs is overwhelming. So for me, the Thai way is a complete package, harmony, peace, discipline and self confidence. it's not about the ability for fight, I'd rather sort a problem out another way than to resort to physical violence. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, or maybe I'm finding my inner peace but whatever the reason, I'm not interested in fighting, be it street, or on an amateur level to see how good or bad I am. I do it on a spiritual level. Have to agree that Swimming and playing squash is an easier and less painful way of getting fit, but there isn't many people about that do play squash, and I havent' played since I was in college Agreed. Lets not get into religion though ... as it's the single reason for every war and terrorist attack in this world, yet there is no proof that these gods even exist. |

Both of which are :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:
If you want to become fit start swimming and playing squash. These combined are the best work out you can give your body and you will achieve the desired results faster ... albeit with a slightly less overwhelming brag status There are more reasons to take up a martial art, as paul said he dose it for fitness while i do it for taking part in compatitions. As for the brabbing and haveing belts as u put it, muay thai does not have a gradeing system like kickboxing karate or even judo. |

"May your god go with you." In my long & shady past I have dabbled in the Eastern arts but like Mr Miyagi all my belts do, is keep my pants up. Mark ;) |
i know loads of people who do varous martial arts non of them are meat heads looking for a fight most are level headed relaxed guys why swim and play squash if you have found something you like to do? re religion have just tried to find a war where religion wasn't involved it wasn't hard Falklands but agree its usually down to religon
