      Seriously?

      No.

      Most martial artists in Singapore aren't fighters. They keep getting beaten up by ah bengs for some reason.

      yes u can use it for self defence, if fights are 1v1 and without weapons but seldom thats the case.

      but martial arts also builds up ur confidence to stand up to people not ur boss obviously but ppl tyring to stir trouble with u.

      most marital artists in the world aren't fighters too.

      in a real fight/robbery/rape/hostile situation, it's not how many dans of blackbelts you have. "Black Belt America" a martial arts magazine.
