Comment on Is martial arts really that useful?

If you have a history of getting into fights, then yes it’s useful. Otherwise you’ll basically never use it. However there are plenty of benefits even if you never use it.
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Knowing that you’re going to get hurt even if you win the fight
- Etc

Exactly. Martial arts will make you live longer, not because you can kick ass in a fight, but because it is generally a great way to maintain cardiovascular health.
If need to train for an unarmed fight, I’d personally suggest the 400m sprint.

What is the “meme” of the 400m sprint (best MA discipline BTW), I’ve seen it popping up everywhere the past couple of weeks haha

Is that a thing? Or is it just Baader-Meinhof
