What is martial arts? Many ppl asked this question, nowadays a lot of martial arts ain't call martial arts anymore it has another brand call 'sports'. Alot of martial arts in present time has put in competitions. Yes, there is nothing wrong with a little competition here and there but is it truely call an art itself. Therefore, some of these martial arts practitioners introduce competitions in, so they have more exposure and let ppl know what is martial arts. But slowly from small little competitions within the place of practice became to the town's event,then slowly evolved to competition between towns and spreaded nationwide. Yes, more and more ppl know the art, and ppl from other countries came and learn it and brought back to their countries. Then competition's are held between countries years after. Is it martial arts really a art where u learn discipline and respect of the ppl which practitce with,and ur sensei for the knowledge he has give u thru this art? Or, has it evolved into a sport where only power is recongnised, either u win and have everybody's so called 'respect' just that ur pysche and stamina is better? Losing to a sports player has a great deal of impact, and winning brings them alot of glory. So it's up to oneself to decide is wat ur parcticing is a art or jus plain sports.
