I didn't say one could learn a martial art by playing videogames. I said one could learn a lot about martial arts by doing so.

I guess it's not the first time you misread things, then "enter in shock" and then it's facepalm moment.


@Bold: Several key words here:  COULD.  Which you also CAN learn things from playing pretty much any video game about SOMETHING.  The THING you would learn about Martial Arts from those fighting games is in no way practical and very limited.  

edit: The other key words are "a lot" (which simply is relative and vague) and your underlined word.

I agree, people can learn things from playing any realistic videogame, even if the application is limited. But would you say the same thing about a non-realistic game like Super Smash Bros?


Yes.  What makes you think it has to be realistic?  Smash Bros can teach you about simulated physics about just as much as a game like Tekken can teach you about Martial Arts.
