I’ve known too many people who think they could take on anyone because of their training.

I’ve heard a 140 lb man think he was the toughest guy at the bar. A dad who walked into a drug den to bring his son home and said he was more worried about the drug dealers. A 60 year old woman who though she could take on 3 police officers half her age.

Serious martial artists, yes. Most causal people attending. It is literally dancing.

Edit: for context and clarification, (1) I have a black belt and gold medals in sparring in tae kwon do from as a kid. I said karate because that’s what the three examples practice. (2) perhaps I said street fight too liberally. In the context of the examples given, I figuratively meant karate has made these individuals overestimate their abilities. (3) dancing is defined as “an act or instance of moving one's body rhythmically usually to music”. Without real world application, I stand by what I said.
