Martial Arts

To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest skill.

This page will be my tribute to the martial arts.I will put here things relevant to me as related to the martial arts.I hope you will enjoy!

Skill beats power. Power and skill beats skill.
Invincibility lies in the defense. The possibility of victory lies in the attack.

Murphy's Laws of Martial Arts

Ten scientific principles that apply to the study of all martial arts:
1.The wimp who made it through the eliminations on luck alone will suddenly turn into Bruce Lee when you're up against him.
2.The referee will always be looking the other way when you score.
3.You will have trouble with the ties on your gi pants when members of the opposite sex are in class.
4.The day you leave work early to make it to class on time, the sensei will be sick.
5.The sensei will only use you during demonstrations for joint-locking techniques.
6.If you have to use your training in self-defense, your attacker's father will be a lawyer.
7.After a flawless demonstration, you will trip on your way back to your seat.
8.After years of training without a single injury, you will pull a groin muscle the night before your black belt exam.
9.In an otherwise vacant locker room, the only other person will have the locker right next to yours.
10.No matter how many times you take care of it before your promotion exam, you will invariably have to go to the bathroom when it's your turn.

I don't think this Martial Arts page would be complete if I didn't mention one of the world's greatest fighter's,he is Royce Gracie.UFC 1,2,and 4 Champion!The only people that could probably beat him are some of his other family members that are more skilled probably because they have more time in Jujutsu than Royce.One person who Royce himself admits is better than him is Rickson Gracie,Royce's older brother.Royce is a 4th degree black belt in Gracie Jujutsu and Rickson is a 7th degree black belt.Click here to see an interview with Rickson Gracie conducted by Karate Kung Fu Illistrated.
