hmmm most martial arts involve USING YOUR FEET AND HANDS AND WEAPONS NOT VERY SPICY FOOD STUFFS!

I made some incredibly spicy chilli yesterday, I got some red savina habanero peppers from mexico. All of my friends were on the ground in tears from the spice, I was the only one able to withstand the heat. Eventually we finished it but my mouth burned for hours.

"WHAT DOES FOOD HAVE TO DO WITH MARTIAL ARTS!"

Food is very important for martial arts. A proper diet is chalk full of nutrition and proteins which allow you to grow stronger.

PreyingMantis,

The martial artist is a complete being, and yes food has a great deal to do with the arts.

How we eat does determine who we are.

The arts are not solitary ones, they're people skills, and training is more than just on the floor, how we interact with each other is a big part of the training. Oftimes much skill is imparted from a Senior in sharing movments over a meal after class or clinic.

Probably less than 10% of our abilites is what we use on the training floor.

And interaction with MA's from Korea, China and Indonesia I could add many stories about being personally challenged to eat what they eat, dipping into the spice.

Of course your course language bespeaks less than a focused mind, just a hot tounge.

Perhaps you've been dipping into the chili yourself.

The world of the martial arts is wider than it seems.

Your probaly just a little kid and know nothing about "combat". When I was a little boy I could eat anything and was very athletic, but just wait until you hit your late teens, early twenties, you will find out that the old saying, "you are what you eat" is actually true. It will catch up to you eventually. I enjoyed the story, all you need is a sense of humor [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif[/IMG]
