    Default Most Martial Arts is crap

    Most Martial Arts is crap.

    Most people are idiots.

    No one style of Martial Art is the best or Worst.

    No one Race, or family of people is the best or worst.

    These types of arguements are ignorant and lazy.

    Excellence is hard work and not everyone achieves it.

    Excellence isn't found in a Style of martial art, but an Excellent instructor can guide you there.

    Yep.

    I was amazed and horrified at the following piece of logic that was thrown at me many years ago...

    You know how the "average" person is an idiot?

    I said yeah...

    Well, half the population of the world is worse still...
