You would carry yourself with charisma and authority when you know you can defend yourself if it's necessary. It helps against bullies and not being a bully is also part of their training.


Martial arts is dope...

Because we copy everything oyibo people do without thinking. It makes us feel good that we are being counted 'among'the civilized.

In Lagos State, and some other states, it is common to see Karate Academies where underage children train virtually on a daily basis. It is really necessary? What are the children using expertise in karate for? Is it to have sense of superiority over other children? What these children need is sound formative education. The money used in enrolling them in such academies can hire good private teachers. Folks, what do you think?

Yes. It helps alot even for older folks (especially males). Am not talking about learning martial arts from thugs/touts o because you'll not get the discipline part of d stuff.

Learn from professionals. ..
