if there is such a question about if a “martial sportist” is a “real martial artist”? are “martial actors” like bruce lee, chuck norris, let li, jackie chan, samo hung, van damn, etc “real martial artists?” i mean all there stuff is just choreography, right? they don’t really know what they’re doing, right? what they do is no more than doing a choreographed dance like in a musical right? i hope people know i’m being sarcastic. however, i know people that like to compete are getting a lot of grief for wanting to put their skills to use. i know that some “sport art” will get your butt handed to you in the street if you had to defend yourself, but what about MMA? i just see people like bruce lee or jet li get more respect than a MMA fighter. a UFC fighter, for example, hits for real. but what jet li does is staged. how does he get more respect? i’m just basically wanting everyone to wake up and start giving the respect to others that they’re demanding themselves.
for the nuthugger at the bottom of the page. this is actually a very good question inspired by another question wanting to know the differenct between martial arts and sports. i saw alot of responses that drug in the new and growing more popular MMA. so i thought i would bring in charished and looked up to martial artist that act in movies. it was completely satirical and sarcastic. it was meant to bend all the traditionalist and “goo goo” babies, like yourself, out of shape. looks like i succeeded. lol. so seeing how my question was a success…it was a good question. martial arts as the traditionalist and purist know it are evolving and they like to make up anything thats gonna make them look different from the people that are doing something different. as for the stupid crap about “grandmasters wouldn’t fight in the UFC, because they would kill someone…” is crap. they would realize that there are rules in the match and respect that. hence no killing. duh
