What Getting Punched in the Face Taught Me
*If you like MMA, anime, pro wrestling, Leftist politics, and meme comedy, check out my other podcast: Southpaw (not to be mistaken for the major league sports podcast and the other one about furries)*
Getting punched in the face is rather unpleasant. You should avoid it if at all possible. If you, however, HAVE gotten punched in the face or have wondered why it's such a common story element, or why so many people seem fascinated by it, or why it's more shocking than it is painful, you have accidentally stumbled your way onto semiotics. The study of signs and metaphors.
And fortunately for you, you don't actually have to get hit in the face to understand the most important lessons from fighting, and really, the most important lessons of martial arts. So I'm about to save you a lot of money, in training fees and hospital bills.
“The greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor... it is a sign of genius since a good metaphor implies an intuitive perception of the similarity in the dissimilar.” – Aristotle
