deviant.inc	Kemics Deviant: For me personally I felt a little let down by traditional martial arts, like I had wasted a huge amount of time an energy. I would have been very interested to hear someone else's experience. Did he feel it was still worth it, what lessons did he learn that are still relevant? What aspect of martials arts are the meat head mma fans missing out on by ignoring traditional stuff? Or is he too attached to his label as a “master”. Did he ever begin to doubt himself? Does he practice solely for hiself? Martial arts is essentially about fighting, but can you learn important lessons for life and the meta if the foundations of the arts arn't super solid. I was just disappointed that Danielle only flattered his ego…not very taoist Yeah, I can see that makes more sense. I guess I just got the wrong idea from ‘Is there room for push hands martial arts in a world where people are also drilling power doubles’…. ———————————————– –“One of God's own prototypes.

crayon_pony_fish	Concerning which martial art is the “best” I say listen again to what Arthur Rosenfeld says on the podcast at around the 17 minute mark. You could also say that the elephant in the room of all martial arts discussions is that anyone with a gun can defeat any and all martial arts. If you want to kick some ass MMA may indeed be the way to go. Arthur Rosenfeld doesn't seem interested in kicking anyone’s ass. quote
