Hi Etherfish;
Martial art is all about defeating the other opponent.If one consciously chooses to be in a challenge.He/she has to expect injury which can be deadly sometimes.
I agree that eastern martial art masters who avoid fights are not being wimpy.
but I don't agree that people who use force to defend themselves if attacked are wimpy either!
we all have different opinions...it's all relative truth[:)]

Yes of course challenges are about defeating your opponent. I was talking about real world situations the masters are forced into, they consider it better to stop the attacker without killing him. Of course they use force to accomplish that. And you don't become a master without years of sparring!
