The martial arts was created for one main purpose, and that purpose is self defence. However, There are some people who study martial arts to abuse and bullie people. It irritates me when the martial arts are being mus-used by other people for their own selfish and violent desires. People with violent tendencies shoould be banned from practising the martial arts. Fraternities for example are one of those people who shoudn't be learning a combat sport. I have heard alot of stories and met some people who uses the martial arts to engage in violence especially those from the unorthodox martial arts thats becoming quite popular these days.
When I started taking up Judo twenty years ago, one of the most basic things that my sensei thought me was that Judo should not be used for other means except to defend yourself and possibly to defend those who are being abused. Some people today especially the young ones are only taking up martial arts to show how tough they are. I dont know what their instructors are teaching them but one thing I do know is that most of these unorthodox martial arts practioners have a bad reputation when it comes to martial dicipline.
