Interesting
A buddy of mine once quipped that he had be training for almost 20 years--and since he got into shape and stopped hanging out with sketchy people in dodgy bars he had not been in a punch up in almost the same length of time.
So all the "other" claimed benefits of training, stress reduction, focus, concentration, discipline,exercise, etc. turned out to be far more important and "useful" than all the "bang and crash"---the "tough guy" stuff he had started training to be able to do.
I, personally, think that most arts lead to the same general place--if you training long enough.
Just an opinion however.
