A disturbing conversation...

[arnisador]

this is true, but Iado is not an art that claims to teach modern, useable self defense. any art that does make this claim needs to be alive.

No argument! But I think it's important to remember that there are many arts and many reasons people study them. Someone taking kyudo, or western foil fencing, isn't necessarily looking for anything that will help them defend themselves. The martial arts community is broader than that!

Perhaps I misunderstood what you intended to say, but the language you used seemed to indicate a rigid and ultra-strict situation. If that is not the case, then I apologize for jumping the gun. I just wanted to caution you to keep an open mind, that is all.

Don't worry about it, I respect your opinion Lately, I've been picking up various books, expanding my knowledge to other arts, I think it's a good thing, just to see what else is out there.
