Also, you don't need to be a pacifist to learn Martial Arts, and your teacher shouldn't force you to be either.

As long as you aren't using it to bully people, if I was an instructor and one of my students punched some dude flirting with his girlfriend, more power to him.

We can't all be Ip Man.

Having trained alot of different over the years, what I have learned and taken with me is that every martial art is unique in it's own way, every single one has strength and weaknesses and the most important aspect of any MA is a good teacher that can motivate you and "lead the way" so to speak.

The operative word in pacifist is FIST.
If you insist on never throwing the first punch, thats fine, just as long as you're willing to throw one when needed.

A man has to defend his spouse, pacifism be damned.
