All forms of martial arts have their pros and cons. I orefer the more traditional martial arts, where the emphasis is on discipline and self determination, with the fighting aspect being a by- product. I found as my oldest son advanced in the art, he was less and less prone to getting into fights in school(he was a real problem in Elementary/middle school). He earned his black belt at 16, and was only involved in one fight in HS, and that was coming to the defense of a female friend. The poor schmuck who charged at him in the hall never knew what hit him :owned: > But anyway, if you approach the MA’s with humility, and work your ass off, any of them will be good for you, and any of them can be deadly… tottaly understandabl,when u learn these arts no matter which ones u learn self discipline and learn to hold back form ur aggression and wanting to throw a punch,all my buddys who are in this,even the 6th degree are gentle giants compared to what they used to be b4 the training and i know it is from the self discipline partt of it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/martial-arts-anyone/184083)._
