Fringe Benefits

You're a porn producer? Sweet. It sounds like you're producing some kind of porn reality show.

Unfortunately not. I don't think my wife would approve. Just science documentaries.

Glad to see a couple of genuine replies.

Definitely agree about the stress thing - it's not about working the stress off, training just stops it building up in the first place.

There are several things that changed in my life because of fighting. For instance whenever people talk about fighting I can tell what is true and what is BS. This brought me to question much more besides the art of violence. Now I believe that if one was to be at least a semi-expert in every field he`d realise that normal people talk plain BS 75% of the time without even realising it.

Martial arts taught me discipline, self control and especially humility.

I remember back when I was doing competitive judo from 1999-2003 and training for 5 days a week, I always felt calm and at peace.

It also taught me that even though how good you are, someone will come along and kick your ass. Of course you will hold ground, but your ass is getting kicked.
