You should join a martial art not to be a fighter but to be able to defend yourself when all else fails it will also teach you to have confidence in yourself witch helps in a lot of different ways not just in a fight, but it teaches you the fundamentals of basic fighting if you cant resort to anything else.

If its the courage that you want then you really just need to actually get into a fight and experience getting punched in the face (It's not as painful as you think) but after the experience the idea of fighting will no be as scary to you anymore. But at the end of the day everyone hates that guy that always starts fights so only ever resort to violence as a last resort

How to become a fighter:

- Fight people that looks like they're a bit stronger than you

- Know some Martial Arts!

- Study a few different Martial Arts!

- Now beat the hell out of someone! And do it again.

Get into shape.
