I guess the monk wasn’t Kwai Chang Caine.
“The secret to Martial Arts, is not style but training.” “Practice a hundred moves five times, it is of no use whatsoever. But practice one move every day, and it’ll be your lifetime protector.”
Dad, and I never missed “Kung Fu” when it was aired. Good times.
Argument by exception.
The left does that all the time.
Abortion: what about the 12 year old girl that was raped by her uncle?
Climate change: look at this one spot somewhere on earth and how it’s gotten hotter, ignore the snow blizzards elsewhere.
Guns: look an assault weapon was used for a crime (small percent).
Abortion: Once upon a time, 35 years ago, there actually was someone that bombed an abortion clinic. It’s not common. But you’d never guess that reading the media which still mentions this constantly.

They use the 1% exception and pretend that’s an argument to make a rule. It isn’t. It actually shows they’re stupid, or their readers are stupid and those writing that garbage are manipulative.
I have over 35 years in combat arts in Hopkido, Isshin Ryu Karate, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Combat Tai Chi Chaun, Haedong Gumdo, Aikido, and Lohan Kung Fu. Most boxers with a year of training can beat any “martial artist” ( karate, any kung fu style, Aikido, Hopkido, etc.). Almost no traditional martial arts pressure test their arts and they never actually fight. They train self defense with opponents doing stupid scripted moves with their arms hanging out there. I did Wing Chin for several years and was never more shocked to see it utterly fail against a resisting opponent. There is a reason that MMA works, because it uses high percentage successful techniques that work against a resisting opponent. All martial arts were designed to fight a specific threat style and most traditional arts fell into the Confusian trap of not adapting because you don’t question your elders. Boxing works, Must Thai works, Judo and Jiu Jitsu works all because they use high percentage success techniques that can be practiced against resisting opponents. The rest of it is trash. It is no surprise that the “monk” lost.
