So try to keep in mind that while some things look good while you're in a safe dojo, how would your training help you in a life or death scenario?

I suppose that the reason I'm really looking to get into it is more for my own self discipline and spirit over trying to significantly increase my ability to fight, especially in a competitive style to style sense. I suppose it is going to be more for my personal self exploration, in a sense, so I'm not positive that weighing my fighting ability vs. others is going to be a big factor for me.
