I wonder if there are any statistics that can tell if Jiu-Jitsu membership went up after the movie, The Matrix was released.
Many young people join martial arts for stupid reasons like; I saw it on Tv! or I saw it on a video game!

| But if they join the martial arts for "stupid reasons" and then reap many benifits, is that not a positive thing? The more people who's lives are improved by martial arts, the better. |

It depends on the person. If the person is serious and dedicated they will continue. On the other hand if they joined because of a video game and take it lightly they wont last long.

| I'm serious and dedicated now, its just I wasn't really aware of the martial arts until I saw it in films and videogames. Of course, I am far more determined about the martial arts now |
