it's a funny transformation. at first you (well, I did anyway) get into boxing or other martial arts for self D and you think you'll kick some jerk's ass someday. then when you get better and realize where the average idiot is in the art compared to you and that you'd knock their f'in block off, you lose interest. you just laugh at those morons and walk away knowing you could have punched them out.

the average guy has very little athletic ability or coordination, let alone skill in combat sports.
