hi ragnarock raider,

 

well as far as the internet definition of self defense is concerned, part of it says:

 

"Many styles of martial arts are practiced for self-defense. Some styles train almost exclusively for self-defense, while others are practiced for other reasons and not intended for self-defense at all."

 

So i dont know how does that contradict my statement, if self defense system is simply a branch or a kind of practice of Martial arts.  Self defense systems are also derived from martial arts itself.

 

So i guess the statement "....martial arts are NOT self defense...." is not entirely true. There are styles or branches for sports or competitive uses, and some for self defense.

 

Just wanted to clarify that.
