My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

@youI would contest your lumping all martial arts under the category of sports. In soprts there are rules. Martial arts, less so. Obviously you don't break your Uke (the person you are practicing the technique on) every time otherwise you would have no-one to train with, but you do learn how far you need to push someone to break them. I do Shorinji-Kan Jui-Jitsu, and it is definatly useful as self defense. Not least because we train with pressure work- multiple attackers and weapons, designed to equip us to defend ourselves in the street, and people in the club have used it in actual self defence.
Wow, that was a bit of a rant there, sorry. But I don't like it when people compare the training I do to a sport like Judo where there are very strict rules that make it of limited use in the real world.
