I'm right there with you.
Probably because we have been conditioned over time through movies, cartoons, and video games to not question violence of that nature. I agree with you that it's sort of a catch 22, though! You did not come off as argumentative :)
I do the same thing!
I’m 34! We’re not old!!!

As long as Van Damme is in it as Guile...
It’s pretty hard to judge a school without attending!
You should do it! I've been training Korean Kung Fu since 2001 and it’s been a blast. I hope you find a good school that you enjoy!
