Martial Arts Philosophy Test


I got:

The Monk
You scored 6% Closed Fist, 78% Open Hand, and 96% Honor!
And so, like all things, it ends. Let's see where you fit... Your score is predominantly Open Hand, thus you tend to think before you act, and view each situation from all angles, before taking action. You tend to meet force with avoiding action, rather than retaliation. While this may seem more "RIGHT" than the Closed Fist, it is no more, and no less correct, it is merely a different point of view. But that's only half the story... Coupled with a high Honor score, you tend to be a caring, giving person, more than willing to take the hardships of others as your own. You see the downtrodden as those who need the most attention, and you will go out of your way to help if you can. Though rarely one to force your viewpoint on someone else, your opinions are strong, and you will defend them, often zealously, however violence is always the LAST option. While this view is more "socially acceptable", bear in mind that it is easy to lose ones self in selflessness to others. Seak an emotional center, and work from there. You would most likely find yourself drawn to the "softer" martial arts, as well as those which seek physical and emotional harmony equally. The various forms of Shaolin Temple, Kung Fu, as well as Aikido, which has no strikes at all, may appeal to you. Well, that's it. Thanks for taking my test. Remember, these are only suggestions, nothing is set in stone. This test is NOT meant to pass judgement in ANY way, nor is it designed to tell you EXACTLY which Martial Art to study. My hopes are to help refine your search, and that you take something away from this, and use it to better your own life. Thanks again, and, as always, feedback IS welcome.


You scored higher than 5% on Closed Fist

You scored higher than 85% on Open Hand

You scored higher than 77% on Honor


Suits me :) I like monks, especially of the Buddhist variety.

You scored 86% Closed Fist, 7% Open Hand, and 53% Honor!
And so, like all things, it ends. Let's see where you fit... Your score is predominantly Closed Fist, thus you value the Strength to get things done. You tend to approach each situation with a definite view of right and wrong, and you tend to meet force with a counter-force. You certainly aren't affraid to let people learn, and sometimes fend, for themselves. But that's only half the story... Coupled with a high honor score, you are far from being a bully, and merely see the strong leading the weak as the natural order of things. While this view may make one unpopular at times, it doesn't make it WRONG, per se, though maybe a little misguided. You would most likely apreciate the "harder" martial arts. Karate comes to mind, as do Muay Thai and Savate, though you may find the spritual side of the first two restrictive. Well, that's it. Thanks for taking my test.

Given that I studied Karate, this makes sense.

You scored 73% Closed Fist, 21% Open Hand, and 43% Honor!
