And I never said that getting hurt is the end of the world. Just that I try to avoid getting hurt if possible. And I sure don't go looking to get hurt for fun.
Anything we do, there is a possibility of a negative outcome, racing, fighting, training etc. It sounds bad, but you have to agree that the thrilling things we do can end badly, I could burn to death in a car at the track, drop a barbell on my neck at the gym etc.

I had a lengthy post trying to explain, but 99% of people won't understand it. Martial arts is my passion, my profession and i'll leave it at that.
