[QUOTE="Gatekeeper, post: 601913, member: 8531"] I've done a decade of Judo and BJJ concurrently, 5 years Muay Thai and traditional boxing, but ironically started out in traditional Aikido. Ironically I've found the aggressive jerks to be in the Aikdo clubs as they are generally insecure guys/ladies that don't practice their technique in a realistic manner, thus they walk around with their chest puffed out waiting for street urchins to ahem..."grab their wrist" and trip over their magic pants. Judo, BJJ, Boxing, MT all have deep levels of respect and in the hundreds of sets of sparring, well almost thousands, I can't recall someone going full rage on me that had some rank or time into the system. People that come off the street with something to prove quickly get dispatched as their ego cannot hang with getting arm barred by a female 100lb purple belt. I cannot stress enough how martial arts/sports can be life changing and extremely beneficial for one's health, mental strength, and physical conditioning. Also there is nothing like the feeling of waking up the next morning being sore, stiff, and tired from a hard set the night before. [/QUOTE]
