| Nov 8, 2014 at 6:00 | comment | added | coltonon | Just a generalization, but it seems to me, that a young karate person is overconfident. I think this passes, after about five years of it, but they feel like they can do more than they can. My tkd instructor got jumped by three guys at 2 in the morning. All three made a trip to the hospital. Maybe the real answer is: whoever has better instincts, reflexes, training, and experience. Martial arts are more on the theory side, while boxing has more of simpler moves drilled into your head. Martial artist know a lot of moves, but have they practiced them to the point of a real life situation? | |
