  • You don't even ned to look that far. Look at wushu from the 70's and 80's when the athletes trained in traditional styles alongside their competition forms. It was such a unique sport, completely unquantifiable and they have butchered it to the point that it has become a mixture of figure skating and gymnastics, but with lower quality movements! What's the point? Why lower the quality of something just to make it Olympic ready? It was so good without the need to be an Olympic sport.

  • @Anandfulness by your opinions, I'm surprised you didn't mention Jeet Kun Do as one of your 'real martial arts' it almost feels as though i'm talking with Bruce Lee himself :P And actually, i agree with you, if we're talking strictly combative. But the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans etc etc all used their 'martial' arts for more than just combat and self defence. To them, it was an art, exercise, discipline training, focus training. Their martial arts meant so much more to them than just fighting.

  • @RadiantAce : Application of the art is one of the most important things in martial arts. It's the ''Martial'' in martial art. Otherwise you would be practicing a performance art. Like you say, then it looks like a dance, which is RIDICULOUS.

    Sparring is equally important. It leads to a better understanding of what ''fighting'' is.

    Forms are just forms. But forms are not the goal. Formlessness is the goal. Focus too much on forms and you are living a lie.

  • @Anandfulness funny you should mention the form vs application. Most Chinese martial arts stressed form extremely extensively. Back in the day when kung fu was a way of life and nothing else really mattered, the students would spend years on stances alone (ironhorse, for example) This taught discipline which was paramount to the Chinese masters. Another example: Taekkyeon, one of the oldest martial arts in Korea, looks almost like a dance and incorporates jumping kicks.
