I've done it as a sport.

I've done it as self-defense.

Nothing compares to the feeling you get about yourself and your own ability after you immerse yourself in martial arts.

I've always been attracted to combat sports. From being a kid it took me from traditional martial arts such as karate and kung-fu to wrestling, to boxing, to muai thai and bjj. So the martial arts I followed eventually led me to MMA. But whichever you decide to do, you won't be the same person ever again.

I don't really know what you are asking and which way you are wanting to go.
