martial arts gives a bullshit confidence boost. you get cocky and then get your ass kicked by someone who actually knows how to fight

Martial art is not just about phisical strangh, it also makes you mentaly stronger... though I'm not talking bout those "I will join karate lessions for 2 weeks and will kick some ass" people.
You have to dedicate several years... if your'e looking for a shortcut try boxing- though it deals with phisical strangh and has nothing to do with the mentality, which in trance's case is what he needs to improove.

I've only been in a fight once in the last 3 years so I think that boxing will give me practice and make me more comftorable fighting while also improving my fighting skills at the same time.

well it seems like you've got it all figured out then...

"You go my dojo I teach you gung-fu, you learn kick ass, and then you me smoke herb"

martial arts is ONLY about physical strength. I know people who have gone throughit for 10 years, are black belts, and I kick their ass regularly. We know eachother so it isnt street fighting, but we do violent fighting and he tries it on me and it doesnt work. On the other hand, people like myself who have done it, can actually use it. Im not saying im awesome, but you need a modicum of strength and agressiveness to make any style work. Martial arts is mainly inhabited by the software engineers and chess club players. Not many people take it seriously, and the people who can actually use it are all pretty much older than 30. and after 25 you arent gonna be getting into too many fights.

How do you think all those karate masters break bricks on their necks?! is it due to their phisical strangh...? no, it's all in your mental state of mind.
Though my point was much more simple then that, trance here is afraid of fighting... dedicating his time to learn some martial art will raise his self confidence and will therefore raise his mental strangh...

Im saying this from having taken martial arts and boxing and several other things. Ive been involved not only in sparring with but in actual fights with many martial artists. I think a lot of the stuff with breaking boards and bricks is rigged. and I also think that a lot of that stuff anyone can do. I think holyfield and tyson could punch a board in half. Ive done that stuff, its all ready to break. Not saying that there arent a few talented individuals who accomplish amazing feats, but I think these people would excel in anything they wanted to pursue, and they happened to get into brick breaking or whatever they do through martial arts avenues. anyways. He needs to go talk to his doctor. He sounds like he has an anxiety disorder.

WRONG! dude u are so off it isn't even funny...if martial arts is only about physical strength then that would sort of contradict yourself when u say basically black belts cant do shit...it's all about the mind and discipline and applying it when fighting...
