Is it just me or has my violence temper settled down after I took martial arts?

before I would you know beat up a kid who would made fun of me just by a little. Now I can have a guy spit on me and I could still laugh it off

Probably. Martial arts tend to temper people. I notice I go in to practice angry sometimes, I come out too tired to be angry. It teaches you respect for yourself as well as others. You see so much violence when you practice martial arts, that you do anything to avoid it. Thats when you become a true martial artist.

You have learnt that there is more to it than ego. Martial art does that for those who train under proper instruction. Martial art is great anger management, and it teaches real respect. Good for you, congrats for finding at least one of the real "secrets" of martial art.

Well, you're better than me, because I won't laugh off someone spitting at me.
