I dunno where you got all that from, Jin; no, it isn’t just about winning. Of course, they all want to win the top titles later on; but most of my friends who fight are 13 and 14 year olds, they just need experience and to develop.
I really do not understand the life and death part. People die in Muay Thai, but not much anymore. But if you’re a real Warrior, you will be very concerned about the effectivness of your skill in real life, also.
There’s nothing to prove on the internet, that’s true. But I do want to prove myself to my teacher and friends here, and also to myself.
In the end, but, it is not about what you manage to prove, it is about how hard you tried to prove it. That is where good character comes from through martial arts.
A Champion should not care about his title, he should care about the efforts he made to get it.
As for other people wanting to know my gym; this is an old trick, you want to attack the person because you’re not having much luck attacking the comment. If I show you my gym, will it change the fact I’m right? No. So why do you not keep working with the subject, and maybe I’d share things if people stay nice.
