>Totally dishonest, complete strawman.
Let me just train martial arts for years and get attacked by hundreds of people, so that I can stop my family members (who have no history of violence) from attacking me.
>So people with high paying jobs don't encounter dangerous people? Maybe homeless people they encounter on public transport or walking to their job?
If you have to work in a city (which you probably don't) then you can carry pepper spray or run away.
Robbers will have guns anyway so you're going to give them your wallet no matter what your training is.
>So rich neighbourhoods don't get burgled?
When burglars break into your home, you shoot them. You don't engage in hand-to-hand lmao.
There's a famous MMA fighter who had a guy on PCP break into his house, the fighter beat the shit out of him and none of his moves worked at all because the guy was on drugs.
>"without hurting them"
>I had in mind your kid is throwing a tantrum, or attacking someone
Most people on Earth have had kids and didn't need to do martial arts.
>Moving a body, just like moving a barbell or a kettlebell or an atlas stone, has its own specific techniques for doing it efficiently
General strength carries over to everything.
>>To get better at a sport, just do the sport.
>Football players - rugby, american, australian - literally have wrestling coaches anyway because it improved their performance
>Are you aware that athletes train skills beyond just directly doing their sport? Like ladder drills and stuff?
That's really nice. So is that a reason to do martial arts for the average person?
