  • This is not exactly the case. “It can be used for combat” does not necessarily mean “it’s the best/ideal/ready for combat”. I would stress readily that if you are in the west, Judo and or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are good for grappling arts. For striking arts Muay Thai is great! Some alternatives are sanda or dutch kickboxing. Though I’m not too sure on availability of Sanda schools in the west. If you really want to go the Chinese martial arts route, Choy Li Fut is a good style, and has supposedly gone toe to toe with Muay Thai on a few occasions.









  • I mean technically, since we don’t exist in a deterministic universe, we don’t have a predetermined fate either, the concept of destiny or fate is a cope by itself. It’s debatable that free will exists either. Perhaps neither fate nor free will exists, and everything is just a roll of the quantum die… Hopefully it’s a D20.

    Also maybe there’s some concept currently beyond human comprehension that makes it so that a probabilistic universe, deterministic universe and free will can paradoxically work all together.
