		<description>Great article.  One thing though, physical altercations are something that just aren&#039;t a part of modern life.  We don&#039;t live in the wild west.  Learning a martial art is great for confidence and discipline, but men do not need to be ever-vigilant and ready to open a can.

I realize you are stressing higher discretion when it comes to this.  But the need is almost non-existent in the U.S.  I&#039;m interested in learning a martial art to help with focus and balance, but 75% of the places are now teaching MMA.  You can&#039;t tell me those dudes aren&#039;t just waiting for the opportunity to unload on someone.</description>

		<description>Excellent article - I really dug this part:

&quot;The defining factor of being a badass, the thing that really sets the young and old apart is the ability to interact with different people in any given situation. When you’re younger chances are you have a group you do a lot of things with. When you go out to eat they are there, if you are chilling at your house they are with you, when you take a date out to a bar or club you run into them. This keeps you in your comfort level and you can do your thing.&quot;

It&#039;s true, and I think that is the thing that holds people back the most: being unable to operate outside of their comfort zone. In high school and college, even if you weren&#039;t popular, you were typically surrounded by friends and other adoring types. Once you get out in the world, it&#039;s not so, and it can be startling to realize how enclosed your niche was (i.e. I came from a group of mostly comprised of vegetarians and was shocked to discover how odd that is to other people). I have a friend who I don&#039;t have a lot in common with - in fact, I have almost nothing in common with him, but his ability to coax conversation out of anyone from any age or walk of life constantly amazes me.</description>
