MMA does, but eastern martial arts make you look fucking stupid.

Lifting heavy objects and putting them down again to better the ability at which you flex in the mirror is the coolest thing one can possibly do.

the lamest people i've ever met keep talking about they do martial arts. doubly lame, they're ultra uncool and they fucked up their bodies with injuries doing dumb shit
Andrew Sanders
I don't know
Cool in what sense? I've done judo for 17 years, I may have answers
Jason Perez
Good range of answers itt. In the eyes of others: depends on how they view them, but also on how much you keep bringing it up (you shouldn't unless relevant) for example. And it makes you more calm.
Olympic fencing, despite being technically challenging, has devolved into something that has little to do with actual fencing.
>17 years
Damn, and I thought I was getting somewhere after a decade.
Carter King
Every smoothbrain with something to prove wants to fight you if they know you do martial arts. Shits fucked, man

You need to watch The Duelist 1977

Christopher Rogers
True dat, bjj is so fucking gay. Handling other guys balls and feet in sex positions eww
Nolan Turner

Joshua Johnson
Bro go on Google and image search bjj positions. All the time you find cowgirl or missionary. That shit gay
Josiah Green
I don't know knowing that a strong beautiful man can hold me helpless as he slowly sets up for a choke is pretty cool and in no way gay
