Blah, blah, blah...UFC....MMA..."skillsets"....ring matches....we just go round and round on this forum. You guys seem to miss the point again and again.
What is an art? Art, in its purest form, is an investigation and also an expression of the "self." Wasn't it Bruce Lee that said that?
Its not a contest of who can beat up who. Martial competition has its place but it should only serve as a tool...it should be a means and not an end.
You wonder why kung fu guys don't enter UFC and all that jazz, I think mostly its because most of them don't care. They got into martial "arts" for other reasons (or eventually did) then just to be a brawler.
Martial arts for them is a vehicle on the road to something else, not a destination.
So I say to you guys that practice for combat sport competition what's the point? Are you really doing art or is it just a diversion for you?
Because in the end, you just won some stupid trophy that doesn't mean anything in anyone in the world at large....unless you won some money or something.
