Hi Tom, Actually, Tom, Martial Arts training is REHEARSAL for aggression. Yeah, Pornography also releases tension but it also creates some undesirable sexual proclivities because of that rehearsal aspect. But that's just sick and freak. But Violence can HURT. Decades ago in America a lot of schools treated Boxing as a Sport, but they decided to nix that idea because students trained in boxing, when they would get into an argument, would knock out their fellow students. Also, check out arrest records for assault. they read like the film credits for a Fung Fu movie. People who practice regularly at shooting ranges are more likely to commit homicide with firearms. Tom, people DO what they rehearse to do. I knew a kid back in college who went to a strange bar with his girlfriend, a real slut, and so he got into a confrontation with this guy who was making a pass at his girlfriend. The guy gave him a little shove and told him to mind his own business... you know, that slut was coming on to him, right? Well, if my friend had not been trained in the martial arts then it never would have occurred to him to simultaneously break two beer bottles and grind them into the guys eyes. Yeah, and then he had the presence of mind to split while everybody else was still standing around in horror and trying to get to a phone to call 911. But my friend told me all that in regret. Without martial arts it would have been a shoving match and people would have stepped in to break it up, like we see all the time at bars. Yeah, the Beer Bottle was probably something that he saw in a movie, but remember that Martial Arts kids WATCH those movies and take notes. But even with their actual training you will have kids kicking into knee joints on purpose and doing permanent damage. Kids will smack in elbow joints in wrong direction on purpose and cause permanent injury. Tom, it is kind of the height of irresponsibility to instruct children on the systematic application of violence. Even the Military has problems because they ramp it up to where they give their Special Forces and Special Teams training to kill, not just hostile enemy combatants, but they do desensitizing training so they can go through towns and villages and clear them with grenades popped through windows, you know, indiscriminately killing women and children because they are too nervous to knock on the door. But, yeah, people aren't the same after that kind of training. Many Post Traumatic Stress Subjects picked it up just from their Training. It is rehearsal to kill. Tom, try to focus a little more on common sense. I know that some little bell must have went off in your head when you were advising children being brutalized and hardened to violence but you made yourself ignore it, right?
