You see, people who say that the Martial Arts are violent and are avenues for the socio-path, don't understand (A) real violence and (B) it's opposite, that being hard work, focus, dedication and the development of strong and good hearted people.
They are totally unaware of the steps and intent needed to create violence by individuals who's ultimate goal is to perpetrate harmful acts on other human beings.
It is much easier and less work for someone who simply wants to beat people up, to simply cruise the night clubs looking for trouble, than to spend countless hours doing Kata, or Kumite, working on a bag or makiwara board and endless years of basics ...
...or if they're really into violence, they can join the army, where they learn to kill people with guns and use they're army boots to kick an enemies head like a football once they're on the ground.
It is true the Karate-Ka learns techniques that can ultimately kill another human being...
...but there is no intent to ever harm another person and every attempt is made to avoid the use of violence...
...exactly the opposite to the person who intentionally seeks violence.
There is kind of a personal power, developed over many years by the Martial Artist.
That being the knowledge that if a fight ensues, death will be the ultimate outcome...
...who's death it will be, no one knows.
...and that is not a risk a violent individual is willing to accept.
You see, violent people are really cowards and they prey on and seek out the weak and innocent. They take very calculated steps to maneuver their victims into disadvantages positions...
...and if a person can make themselves into a hard target tha'ts not going to go down easily, the perpetrator will move on to easier hunting grounds.
There's the difference, one person seeks health, vitality and a strong calm nature while the other person seeks destruction, weekness and chaos...
