I’ve been thinking about martial arts and how really it is useful these days since a lot of places will have criminals hiding firearms or in the U.S. some states have conceal carry.

Whilst it contains discipline and it is enjoyable to train in a club for, say Karate, I just think it might not be that useful in places where firearms are commonly held, all it really takes is for someone to take safety off, aim, pew pew and that’s it.

I suppose I probably get this thinking from kung fu where it’s seen more of an art form then actually being a serious bone breaking form of combat

    China is so salty that karate can’t survive the age of the Internet they are blackballing it’s critics.

    Karate is Japanese.

    Did you mean Wushu?

    It’s closer to Pro Wrestling than a form of self-defense, like they often have storylines and everything.

    Whoever told you that Chinese people are mad over a performance art is literally just making shit up.
