I am attending a Karate tournament tomorrow, and was hoping for prayer for safe travel, and protection for all involved. Pray for no accidents or injuries. I am excited but apprehensive. I returned to martial arts training recently after a 5(ish) year Hiatus and am out of shape, but was crazy enough to sign up for sparring. So any prayer that I don't look like a goof out in the ring would appreciated! Thanks all.

Good for you! I'll be praying, I definitely know the feeling. Haha.

Thanks for the prayer everyone the tournament was a blast! I am pleased with how I did, I took third in both Adult Sparring Divisions! That's pretty cool since I got moved up to the advanced divisions because I was the only beginner in the beginner division. Praise God for no major injuries, and every one seemed to have a good time.

Not to crash the party, but isn't karate COMPLETELY useless in a real fight? I do believe so...

You sir, just failed.

That depends one what your styles focus is, our style focuses on self-defense, real and effective self defense. But we also focus on what is an appropriate time to use it (i.e. life or death situations). The generalization that all karate = useless is inaccurate and unfair to any who practice it regularly.
-
As I have understood is that the only real use of karate is just the mere discipline you learn, as well as the physical shape you must be in. Otherwise I think it is pretty useless in a real bar fight or hand-hand combat situation.
-
Have you ever actually trained is your understanding just from what you have read about. Again generalizing all karate from a few observations is inaccurate. I respect your right to your opinion but as some one who has been around martial arts for years your information rings false.

No.
