Hmmm. An interesting thread, but I have a slightly different take....

Mistress Aquilanne is a practicing martial artist. I have been one in the past.

How many artisans also have a background in the martial arts?  

I believe there is a particular strength that one can attain from studying martial arts, and that it is more internal than external.  Being able to push yourself to the extreme, to visualize yourself reaching a goal, and learning to focus your energies in a particular direction are a few of the lessons I had in martial arts.

Also, learning how to fall, how to duck, how not to lead with my chin, and how to learn from failure.
