Until you reach a very high level you dpend most of your money trying to eat much like musicians.
the money is for promoters.

A Japanese system actually

Easy to get injured.

I was going to tell everybody there's a big badass campground in southern California called slab city place is free and most the time you can come up on a free motorhome just from going there every winter I run a big martial artists retreat there for anyone interested there's Hot Springs free concerts once a week weeds like $3-$6 a gram of Got the housing for maybe an additional 20 people

My best friend is a black belt in Krav Maga. He's been pretty impressed with himself ever since earning it. A couple weeks ago he decided to start some shit with a guy picking through his trash for pop cans and got his ass kicked. Lost a couple teeth in the process.

All the training in the world doesn't matter if you're soft. Some people are just bad ass

Not only that but science and leverage work on everyone.
Anyone can be knoked out.
Some are more flexy than others but you learn to adjust

Having been myself homeless living in tha mountains for 13 years of my young life can verify that homeless folks are tougher on average than you housies

I think athleticism plays a role too. You can't teach reflexes and agility. Look at the ufc lately. The best fighters are typically the best athletes as opposed to just knuckle draggers

I cant tell you how many muscle bound big tatted up goatee wearing tough guys I have seen quietly slink off never to return after a week of having his ass handed to him by a few babyfaced high school kids.
If you wanna feel tough avoid reputable gyms.

In large part that is because the money is attracting more atheletes that would have went for a mainstream sport.
At least partly.
but like anything in life some just have an edge.
Often they rely on it instead of hard work and pay.
but people like jones make the most of it
