obviously there is a relationship between one’s intellectual/mental process and ones martial art… a healthy mind(or delusional - depending on your perspective of the two) is highly beneficial to formulating strategy, which of course is a big part in emerging victorious in an altercation of sorts - be it online or in the physical. so i guess what i am saying is… snicker
it is interesting to note the comparisonal aspects of how people hold themselves in here and their true physical natures in general. food for thought really… i tend to believe that those of us who are intellectually superiour in regards to this “kung fu post combat” are much more likely to have an upper-hand in physical strategy aswell - not implying that one is weaker or stronger, but that one would have a wider access to witty resourcefulness in the application of ones martial art ability when used in conjuction with self-defense.

u have to troll kungfu magazine forums? how pathetic r u???
I think there are too many other variables involved to correlate personality to fighting ability alone.
Age
Physical conditioning
mental conditioning
experience
motivation
Any scenario using any number of factors is possible.
It’s possible to have someone on here who just likes to get people’s goats, and be an extraordinary fighter. It’s possible to have someone who is just immature in life experience and social skills, who is a superior fighter, and it’s possible to have the nicest, most intelligent person around, who is out of shape, not very experienced, and has no desire to fight, who would probably be an inferior opponent.
I think there could be some truth to this however, in the theory that a superior thought process could produce better strategies in a fight, but gathering data and proving it would be a nightmare.
I consider myself to be a nice, thoughtful, and intelligent person, but being an orange sash, would have a difficult time defeating a red or black sash in a fight (taking into consideration we were trained by the same person) even though the guy might be a jerk. I just think you can’t compare apples to apples in this situation.

I think anyone who gets their panties in an uproar over something posted on this site needs to seriously evaluate their own life. I admit to being brash at times but what I say are my beliefs, so you can either agree or disagree with what I say, really makes no difference to me. That being said, anyone so weak minded they flip out over internet drama probably has a weak personality, therefore, weak training methods and/or ability.
It’s funny to note that generally a thread that involves little to no drama will have maybe five to ten responses, but if there is any indication of drama or a flame war coming the entire site inhabits it. That says something about human nature.

Hmmmn, well maybe you’re not elucidating enough?

Because this can totally be read as you being of an understanding that you think there is correlation between one in real life and one in how they conduct themselves in an anonymous environment. (This one for the most part.)

comments anyone? :D[/QUOTE]
If you are implying that quick witted = quick fisted, then no, you would be incorrect.
Many MA fighters of the past were functionally illiterate and would kick the ass of most people that know the laws of physics inside out.
No one ever accused Mike Tyson of being on the worlds greatest minds.
It doesn’t take verbal intelligence to know how to physically fight. I’d say successful fighters have, at the least, high levels of visual-spatial and physical intelligence.
