    well not that I want to take a job that requires my 'skills' :D but was just wondering what other jobs can one get with martial arts knowledge as whole, aside from:
    1. actor
    2. stuntman
    3. actor's stuntman :D (i know this is basically a stuntman but i just couldn't help it)
    4. Martial arts instructor(the obvious)
    5. personal trainer? ( well martial arts is fitness isn't it?)
    6. body guard/ bouncer
    7. the army?
    8. police?
    9. super hero?/vigilante? (Ignore this one, i was running out of ideas)
    anymore i should know about though?

    I know some pro wrestlers have used a martial arts background but its far from a deciding factor in that career. My experience is most are either personal trainers or security and a lot of the time that seems to be more that those are jobs with flexible shift patterns you can fit around training more than them being specialized careers.

    It wouldn't do anything to get you a programing job but you could add more realistic MA moves into fighting video games.

    You consider being an actor or stuntman a stable job? :confused:

    A lot of people who try and make a living from martial arts instructing don't succeed, so I wouldn't call that exactly "stable" either.

    ahhh good point. Again I'm not trying to make martial arts my job, I was just curious in what jobs do people apply martial arts.
    hmm by the way i've read somewhere about entertainers who do martial arts with lots of flipping motions, that's another one to join the list, who knew there are quite a lot of different jobs that require martial arts.
    the job doesn't need to be stable aaradia, I'm just trying to list as many jobs one can apply martial arts. stable or unstable doesn't matter, it's just a list mate :D.
