As a martial artist
June 5, 2008June 5, 2008 Add comment3 comments Uncategorized Uncategorized

We live in a word full of martial arts. I think its interesting. Now, a problem that comes along every time this is thought about is "Is the an all powerful art?" If thought through, the truth in No. The art is only as good as the one the uses it. Still we find people who want to prove this wrong. Then you come across MMA, but is there an art there? Effective in fighting yes, but a martial art? Even if its mixing martial arts, is it still ans art? Yes and no. For those who are truely mixing yes, there are still learning and training the art(s). But those who just learn basic punching, kicking, and grappling to fight, is it still an art? I've always thought of the art as the lessions learn internaly as well as the fisical lessions. The arts are wide and vast, and there are many views on it, so im just wondering how other people see it. any thoughts?

    It seems you may have answered your own question. Would you call someone who fights 'no holds barred' a mixed martial artist, or is he/she a MMA fighter? Would you call someone who practices, Jeet Kune Do, Kuk Sul Wan, or Jujitsu a mixed martial artist, or just a martial artist?

    It's a great 'Catch Phrase' developed by the marketing guru's to help promote and grandeur"rize" putting two people in a ring with the least amount of rules legally allowed and see who is the most conditioned, aggresive and skillful athlete. In that order.

    speaking as an MMA fighter i would have to say no there is no art involed in it if that is all your doing is learning how to land some kicks and some puches but for the ones who study different arts and just want to use theam for more than just scoreing some points it then becomes an art for theam because then train hard they put there mind body and soul into it ever day so for theam then yes in is an art
