Frances Macky: batsitsu
Alise Rutgers: not exactly like kungfu or karate etc like in the movies but yes i believe quite close and perhaps at the developing stage. plus if Mr Siddharta Gautham according to history was a prince of a warrior clan ...then he wont be just you kno so i believe he was a though guy....though enough to have got a girl those days...according to history again.
Jestine Osumi: it is a good way to get all the anger and stress out :).
Moira Woodrow: Because, I want to become a Tai Chi Chuan master one day.There is no "should" someone learn martial arts. It's "Do you want to?"

Clement Viscarro: Keyboard Warrior is a dumb*** don't listen to him. Okay ! Batman has mastered virtually every martial art in the world, from Krav Maga to Boxing.
Stanton Villao: To stay mentally and physically fit and to prepare for unwanted confrontations.
Luther Plagmann: No not really, I think its overrated
Terrell Voltz: Man of Faith answered very well. Plus it is good for mental health as well. It teaches focus and calmness.It is a self discipline. Trying to master your own body on all levels. It can be considered almost religion to some people.And it isn't just because i'm bored or it is something to do. It turns into a way of life.
Efren Clankscales: Well, it's likely since his father was apart of the warrior caste and he learned many things at a young age. It was also said that he was excellent with athletics. Martial Arts probably included.
Melvin Nakama: The style used in the more recent films was Keysi Fighting Method. The Batman of the comics has done pretty much everything.
Donella Vasta: i learn ! for just for the Chinese Confucious spirit. I like the fightin! g aspect but martial arts gives me a inner calming i guess you could say
Wally Gower: Yes, Gautama Buddha would have known the martial arts.Historically, it is known and recorded that Siddhartha was from a warrior family that had ascended to one of the lower levels of nobility. However, he was raised as a warrior, first and foremost (and his father actually is said to have prevented him from learning philosophy or religion early on, specifically to prevent him from becoming anything other than a ruler). It was during the years that he would have been learning how to lead troops and survey the land of his people that he realized that there was so much suffering outside the walls of the their estate. This is when he began his ascension toward the higher state of mind for which he is famous today. He experienced an emotional elevation, by first understanding the frailty of life as a warrior, that allowed him to become the spiritual leader he became later.Gautama's creati! on of his own philosophy was in direct contrast to his upbringing and his more base personal interests. You see, his new philosophy went directly against Hinduism, which promoted the caste system that he and his family had thrived on for so long. In fact, his original teaching insisted that there could be no division of ranks within the follwing, and it was not until after his death that monks and priests became part of the practice.Look not only at the life of Gautoama Buddha, but also at the known texts and liturgy about the Hinduism that preceded his life-time. Even the oldest known works spoke of the need for developing warrior skills. The Kama Sutra lists sword-work and stick-fighting and such as being needed skills for a man to develop before pursuit of sexual relations with wormen (to best be able to provide for their security). The Upanishad and Bhagivad Gita also record the ways of war as being of great influence in the development of men anf their spiritual unders! tanding.Look it all up, please. You will do yourself a world of good by! learning more about these things, if only in opening your mind.....Show more
Tomeka Hameen: why not?
Bennie Lantgen: . How could someone using a Chinese name know so little?. There were martial arts BEFORE kung fu. The Vajramushti is a fighting art from India that was written about and described back in the 5th century (meaning that the art actually PRECEDED the 5th century writer that made the reference). No doubt, if there was one Indian fighting art around back then, there were other Indian fighting arts.. The Kshatriya warrior class existed before the time of Buddha, and he was said to have been part of that class. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kshatriya. (If you don't like Wiki, at least check the references at the bottom of the page to see how much research was done on the topic, and to find other resources for checking it out yourself. Elsewise, just shut up about Wiki!). That warrior class is recorded as extending back to around 1000 BCE, before Ga! utama Buddha by some 500 years. Gautama did not come until the END of the Vedic period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_civilization. As long as there have been organized armies and men with weapons, there have been martial arts styles. We have no direct written record of every battle that ever existed, but you can be sure and certain that men have been fighting long before they ever developed the ability to write things down. Certainly before they ever took an INTEREST in recording things, even in cave-paintings.. This is one of those areas where anthropology would be a better study to answer the question than the martial arts themselves would. Physical evidence of battlefields and organized weaponry pre-dates all written records for every continent. That's why we are still piecing together history for every single culture on Earth. The further down we dig, the more we learn about our past.. As a general rule, men develop systems of violence long before they devel! op systems of spirituality. This is a simple rule of history that perfe! ctly follows Maslow's hierarchy of needs. A people and culture and society will develop the tools for survival before they develop tools of belonging or esteem or higher actualization. Safety and security are always developed first, or the group does not survive to seek higher actualization.. On that note, the Buddha himself had to feel pretty secure and safe in his life to become so concerned with the welfare of others and the process of spiritual development. This man felt so secure in his life that he stepped away from that security, entered a study and practice of fasting so severe that he quite literally nearly starved himself to death before he created his own path. Yet, none of that counters that fact that his physical safety needs had to be met before he could properly pursue any spiritual path of perfection or enlightenment.. I'm no great spiritual man, nor even a good historian. However, I have done enough study and research to see the main principles that defi! ne the history of man, and to see how it follows certain patterns....Show more
Sharri Scalley: self defence and doing sports is healthy for you
Michal Semple: Did the Buddha Know Martial Arts?
Toshia Metzker: Not that I know of.There is no documented evidence or fact.Best wishes :)***
Romeo Tinnea: Because martial arts is the art of life. You can apply its concepts into everything you do. Not only does it give you daily philosophy, but it restores a sense of honor and respect that seems to have been lost in society. I believe martial arts helps communities evolve and become better people.
Michal Semple: SiddhÄrtha, who is The Buddha was an Indian prince and warrior. What we call the "martial arts" today are attributed to a Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma who went East to spread the Way throughout Asia. He taught the art of defense as well as the spiritual aspects of Buddhism. China, Korea, and Japan as an example; all claim him as their Maste! r. It is said he taught the Shaolin Monks and spread Zen to Japan. Ind! ian sages have included defensive combat in their study of the Way since the beginning. Yoga is incorporated into martial art no matter the discipline. They are one.So, yes, Buddha knew martial art....Show more
Russell Mckinzie: Everything that exist. I think he actually invented some other.
Porfirio Gartland: - A great stress reliever, and is a way to really apply my mind and body.- It's fun to be a fan and practitioner.- It's good for the mind, body, and spirit.- The people you meet, and the things you learn. When you find a school that really fits you and your personality, your fellow students and instructor become family. Having knowledge of systems across the world sometimes allows me to relate better with people from other countries that I meet. - So I am able to defend myself.- It really helped me to take the aggression that I developed as an adolescent, and allowed me to apply it in a controlled setting. I learned how to harness it for positive things...! .Show more
Maurice Breuning: I will be honest i always loved being in the ring and fighting not outside of the dojo or ring,but once i am in it feels amazing
Vernon Martorana: given that buddha was an indian warrior prince prior to becoming a holy man i would say yes.
Micah Schwarcz: because i love fighting and learning how to fight and although i started out with MMA im not just some tapout fanboy who is on here trying to sound like a badass i do martial arts cause i love them and what they teach you to do
Shena Etulain: To have something to do.
Malcom Fenoff: buddha martial arts
Madlyn Fallis: I think you need to study more about martial arts, Buddha and India. You lack your basic knowledge to diffrentiate these 3 totally diffrent entities.
Burt Cheevers: It's better than raw octopus, for sure.
Jesusita Dykhoff: Yeps, Thats why I have been doing it for over 40 years now
Maria Devenney: A good well rounded style would b! e freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons! .What a lot of people don't understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It's definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don't care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate's. The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend Bushi Kai or Zen Do Kai, but if your not in Australia or New Zealand you may have some difficulty finding some one who teaches these styles.These styles also usually have separate classes available to everyone in Muay Thai and BJJ/Submission/Shoot wrestling.If you can't find one of these i would suggest Kempo or Enshin or another freestyle Karate....Show more

Ollie Desalvo:
Karl Samiec: through my martial arts training, i never thought that i would learn the things i learned... i came in expecting to do flying roundhouse kicks and be able to kicks someones ***.. but what i got was a greater lesson.. it taught me discipline it taught me to believe in myself.. it gave me an outlet to express myself physically, spiritually, emotionally, creatively... martial arts is not just about the physical aspect but the mental and spiritual aspect.. i learn martial arts because it teaches me to live in the present.. everytime i walk in my dojo i dont think of any of my problems, i dont think anythign really at all... im just one in the moment... and yes girls should learn martial arts.. doesnt matter the gender. But especially for women, they just take up martial arts, not saying because they are weaker, no just because they are a target for men who! like to abuse women.. jujitsu or aikido, or judo are good martial arts! for women to train, even though any martial arts is good, those particular because its not all about strength its about leverage, balance disruption, using your body as a tool where you can counter their strength and use it against them....Show more
Porfirio Gartland: back in 1983 i was 8 yrs old, and im the only son in the family with 2 little sisters..started shotokan karate in the neighbourhood, the sensei was a marine corp (indonesian navy) and had to go to iran-iraq war after 4 yrs teaching..martial arts is for my self defence and help me in being confident..in 1990 in the same dojo, another man (this one was an athlete, asian games gold medallist) started taekwondo school (WTF), and instead of riding bicycle chasing girls in the street, my parents sent me to that school 3 nights a week.. 1990-1996 taekwondo plus karate in the past time enough to give me confident, and keep the bully away from my face at school....Show more
