That is one of the primary reasons certain people stay long term in a

very disciplined and effective martial art.

 

They WILL be able to protect themselves!

 

So their unconscious minds were attracted to a skill that gave them

the self-reliance and resources they needed.

 

That type of person did not do a martial art 6 months and go to

scrabble.

 

If they started at 6 and they are 60, they still train daily.

 

But that's with just a few rare very proactive people.

 

Unless, of course, martial arts is a deep family tradition and is

part of the family up-bringing.
