I like insulting other people, so my quote was deleted!
I couldn't agreewith you less, just cause someone has martial arts training doesn't mean they are either more of a man or even a better fighter. I have done no formal training, only back yard fights with my brother (I can beat the three of them at once, me 21 and them 25, 18 and 15) I can also beat all my mates (not at once though) in a fight.
My uncle has taught a form of martial arts for 10years now (something about a bushudo cross???) and has been all over Asia and has learned different fighting styles (don't ask what as I'm not interested in that sort of stuff) and recently stick and knife, or something like that, I kinda go in and out when he tells me. Now even with all his skill and training i can still get him to the ground and once there I am at an advantage due to age and weight. I have been in few scrapes and fights as I choose to avoid them where ever possible, as any smart person would. I let my mind do the fighting and calm the situation down before it can escalate.
Now to your statement, I agree with the fact that people who boast about anything are tossers. Sure you can be proud and talk about it but boasting is different. Saying this is a 'true guy topic' is very caveman, it doesn't take a real man to beat another man up, ever heard the saying "it takes a bigger man to walk away". Sure this isn't always possible but the person who looks for an alternative to fighting is obviously smarter than the guy who goes in fist-a-blazing. I have no training yet I could kill someone, It doesn't take much to kick a guy in the nuts then kick him in the head until he's dead. But I wouldn't, I'd kick him in the nuts than get away with no harm to me and minor harm to him.
I neither envy you or which I had your fighting skills, but you would put me in the lover box before the fighter, nor am I trying to ridicule this subject or am a pussy just pointing out that you don't have to be a fighter to be a real man. I also go out without fear, but I don't look for fights either and I don't go out with the mindset that no matter what I will win. Either way it take more of a man to use their mind than to act like an animal and fight.
Anything can fight, only humans can shot guns and use superior interlect
