Feb 4	comment	How are joints affected in the long term by martial arts practice? Anecdotal evidence is not worth the paper it is printed on.
Feb 4	revised	How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? Added even more clarifications...
Feb 4	comment	How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? Okay, could we stop with the comments now? This is seriously getting to the stage of rant/flame/argumentation for its own sake. Would you consider removing some comments, amalgamating several into one or writing them up as an answer instead?
Feb 4	comment	Which martial arts focus on self defense? @stslavik: Okay, that is a fair point.

Feb 3	answered	Which martial arts focus on self defense?
Feb 3	comment	Which martial arts focus on self defense? How can you train for self-defence if you have no desire to train in a competitive area? In my not so humble opinion, sport is one of the only safe ways to practice against full resistance. Of course, it cuts a lot from a fight -- there are rules! But what other training method can you get? I am not trying to be irritating, just genuinely curious.

Feb 2	comment	How do you prepare for the stress of a real self-defense situation? Another expression would be "mushin nugamae" (lit. no mind, no posture).
Feb 2	comment	Rule 1: Cardio. What exercises are worth doing to increase cardiovascular fitness? Point taken, I have edited the question once more.
Feb 2	revised	Rule 1: Cardio. What exercises are worth doing to increase cardiovascular fitness? Edit to remove questions at the risk of making this off topic. sigh
Feb 2	revised	Do ninja follow the bushido? Added more detailed answer
Feb 2	revised	Do ninja follow the bushido? Added link to question on history.se
Feb 2	comment	Do ninja follow the bushido? +1. This could be migrated to history.stackexchange.com but I believe that it could be on topic here as well if we agreed on philosophy and history tags.
