Those who say Martial Arts are useless should train under a better master, or train under one if they haven't.

Although it's not for everyone, I understand that.

You used TWD in school fights? O_o
I hope the situations called for it. One of the most imprtant things that TWD teaches is a way of life.

You are correct, many people who bash TWD have not trained under someone who knows what they are doing. I train directly under a Grand-Master, and am sometimes tutored by two other masters who work under him. He is one of the few Grand Masters in WI. :P
There are way to many people in the world who get certified to teach martial arts and don't know a darn thing. I would not suggest training under anyone who is not at least a Five Dan BlackBelt.
