As a student of Hillcrest High School, I have trained in Kenpo, traditional Tae Kwan Do, Aikido, Haikido, and Silat, some also with the use of weaponry (Sai, Kama, Bo, Staff, Katana, etc.). I come upon many people that, just because they don't know martial arts, say that it doesn't work, or it won't protect you. I know that it works perfectly well, I have fought with it before and never lost, but when they want to "slap-box" me or "play-box" me, I refuse, and they taunt me and poke fun at martial artists until I put a palm strike into their shoulder and up into their chin. Two most common sayings: "Martial arts do not work, dude.", and the famous belief that all martial artists know Karate also comes into play here.
