Is Classical Martial Arts Better Than MMA? Classical Martial Arts against MMA, this is an fascinating question. On one hand, we have the classical practitioner, as in Krav Maga or Tai Chi Chuan and that sort of art. On the other hand we have the people who praise the UFC and regimens such as one would see on Strikeforce.Now, obviously, we are going to have a difference of opinion, the main thing is can we come up with some facts, or at least opinions so well grounded, that belief in one system is superior to another? I believe it is possible.First, there is sport v art. In a sport one fights an opponent. In an art, one is in conflict, and thus attempting to resolve conflict, with oneself.Second, there is the matter of control. In a classical art one is attempting to control ones body, ones opponent, and ones own emotions and spirit. In MMA one is all too often just attempting to smash somebody's face.Thus far, the edge seems to be going to the classical methods. In attempting to control ones own self there is a high ground which can't be argued. This is not to say, however, that the MMA school of thought does not have a voice in this election.The main consideration, UFC...more

The Problem With How Martial Arts Systems Are Put Together The odd thing is, when we create martial arts styles and systems, we are repeating, and even compounding the errors of those who went before us. This is sort of an inarguable fact that nobody sees or understands. It is this fact that is at the heart of most Martial Arts systems.The people of ancient times had no technology to draw upon. They didn't have logical methods of thinking, or, many times, even any kind of education. Thus, their look at martial arts was founded on mysticism, and the resulting arts are born of that mystical approach.When some fellow began his study of the martial arts it would be based upon the spirit techniques his father learned in the army of (enter an historical name). His father would be old and crippled, maybe even a little addled, but he would give his son what he remembered. There would be a family bonding, and a secret system of ninjitsu, or kung fu, or whatever, would be born.As time went on, these methods of art would eventually come to light. Consider the plight of the guy interested in studying martial arts, and he has a version of Gung Fu to draw on, half a system of Emei Wudan,...more
