Fight Scenes

Whether an author is writing a children's book or a fantasy epic there is a good chance that if enough time goes by in the story the characters are going to get into a fight of some sort or another. As usual with writing it is best to write what is known. And what better way to get to know fighting than to take a martial arts class (putting aside the vast range of other benefits to the author's person of course). 
It is one thing to say that the character absorbed the blow and kept fighting.  It is quite another to know what it feels like to take a sidekick to the ribcage, let the pain flow through ones body, and use the momentum to knee an opponent if the face. It also allows the author to learn what real warriors think, and how they respond.
For instance: according to Seifu Bronson of Mountain Warrior Kung Fu Academy the first five rules of martial arts are:
1) Get Away
2)Get Away
3)GET AWAY
4) GET AWAY!!!!!
5)Get a weapon
The very last thing a warrior wants to do is to come to blows.
Little tidbits like this can really help to enrich a character.
