Learning An Art Through The Next Hot Thing
April 22nd, 2008 | by |MMA is not really the next hot thing. It has been around since the late 50’s, and is finally getting noticed. Many martial arts consultants are starting to criticize MMA, and I guess that is a good thing.
When you watch George St. Pierre on the UFC you are watching a complete fighter. There are really no holes in his game, and that is why he is successful. No art - from TKD to Judo- can compete where MMA is going as a martial art. Think of combining the best of everything and you have MMA.
Many other martial artists criticize the lack of tradition and etc., It really depends on the academy how the “tradition” is implemented. You still can have a rogue karate school - so what is the difference?
Life is about change and people do not like change. Strange isn’t it?
