As a kid I always wanted to be this guy who goes around beating ass like Kimbo Slice or John Wayne . I took wrestling and kenpo , but as I started to get older and am now starting to exit my teens I've become more empathetic. Going along trying to control my strength and protect people around me. I can't tell if I'm trying to hold on to childish ideas or evolving as a person.

Short answer: Yep, you're evolving as a person.
Shit OP, it's called "self-defense training" for a reason. Good on your for throwing out thoughts of harming others - not that there's any harm in that unless you actually act on them.
Well I guess life wasn't meant to be my action movie after all.

>it's called "self-defense training" for a reason
Yeah, liability.
The best self-defense is a firearm, anyway, so calling a martial art that is a misnomer.
>but what if it's not legal to own a gun
Then move somewhere your civil rights aren't violated by enforced pacifism.
Beating other people in order to be happy? Boy, you are sad.
