I do question the ideal of taking up martial arts for sports rather than for self-defence.

Prepare for the worst and you will survive through the worst.

If one is unable to expose oneself to experience real time fight situation which definitely carries dire consequences, the closes one can get it is through sports sparring. This is because one can still employ most of the fight technique and most important of all the activation of the acute sense of timing to execute it to perfection. This is definitely a preparation for the worst and chances are you can survive the worst if you are constantly doing sports sparring especially with all other MAs, which is what I am promoting in the other thread in this forum.

You should see Bujinkan training or some of the older Karate ryus training, fractures and mortal wounds are usual and considered part and parcel of the practice. They train in offence and defensive techniques against live blades and firearms so there is a sense of life and death in training.

If anyone is interested in SWORD martial arts, I'm training NihontoDo with Samurai Sports Singapore. It's a school of Kenjutsu, Japanese sword fencing.

We train at full contact speed, so chances are if you can get away from a sparring session without being even hit once, you'll do well enough in a real contact situation.

Do come down and join us to test it out yourself before criticising.
