From Black Belt Magazine September 1992
" There is a difference between learning how to fight, learning self-defense. and truly learning a martial art. In one of Seagal's movies, he is heard speaking Japanese. In another, he is seen writing Japanese characters. To truly learn a martial art is to aspire to a certain level of literacy, in much the same way a child is expected to learn how to write. Learning how to defend yourself is only a by-product of this literacy. For example, the samurai, for all their fighting skill, were an extremely literate class in Japan and com- posed many poems and philosophical treatises. It doesn't matter how Seagal stacks up against other martial artists in a fight because it is the principles of the arts he has learned that really matter, not the actual physical techniques. Literacy, language skills, tradition and healing powers learned during the course of martial arts study are in fact all forms of self-defense. Literacy promotes the self-aware- ness needed to facilitate personal development so practitioners will not be insecure and feel a need to resort to vio- lence. The healing arts teach practitioners to protect their bodies from sickness. Moreover, the self-defense scenarios taught to most martial artists are inconsistent with reality. "

Post from Mrs Elle Seagal
GEORGES ST. PIERRE
Georges St-Pierre, the best fighter in the UFC, who became the master of professional mixed martial arts, has a total of 26 victories in his career, won 13 championship belts and defended his championship belt 9 times in a row over a period of 5 years. He is ranked by N1 as the most successful, popular, influential, and greatest fighter of all time in UFC history.
I thought I'd share some of the valuable advice I gave to my son, who has followed in his father's footsteps by being interested in martial arts, practicing boxing, and watching the UFC without skipping a beat.
He said: "Martial arts is a tough sport that requires tough challenges, tests, courage, and struggle. If you really want to go down this path, do it with true love and values. To achieve success, you have to get out of your comfort zone and face tough situations. persevere, aim, challenge yourself, don't be afraid to lose, don't miss every opportunity to improve yourself, not because you like to fight or fight I worked tirelessly because the feeling of winning is incomparable has been shown to cause serious ailments, so take it easy when sparring (punching, boxing) when you're a teenager, and train yourself wisely rather than trying to push yourself hard at that age!” is recommended. Brain damage at any age is dangerous, but it is said that damage done before maturity is more harmful later on, children...
