Tonight I went out to dinner with a classmate of mine (he does 2 different MA with me) and his wife who was asking me lots of questions about MA, why this and that, etc. - very intelligent questions. This was a long conversation that touched on Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Bjj, Judo, JJJ, Kyokushin, Aikido, Ninjutsu, Krav Maga, Boxing and Kali. A few of those I have actual experience with, and I few of I know mostly from reading about on MAP and other places and the odd move shown to me now and then. I was able to break out many a MAP (and frankly a few Bullshido) truism when questioned.
It's pretty rare that I have much of a conversation about MA with someone who isn't in one of my classes, or here on MAP. It's even more rare where the conversation goes on this long. Even more so with someone who doesn't do MA and actually seems to get what I'm talking about. Heck, by the time it was over I was attempting the 3 Archilochus quotes I sort of know (although I didn't get his name right).
It's possible that some of the opinions I had were actually correct, likely many were partially correct, and a few were surely wrong, but still fun to talk about this stuff with a non-MA person.
