Have people lost their way in martial arts today?

August 20, 2011

Today it seems the world is only concerned with sport based applications of martial arts such as MMA. When did we lose the integrity and meaning behind studying the martial arts that made them so great? Each day we hear people talk about fighting, conceptual system versus system arguements and everything is focused on the obtaining of fighting abilities. Why have people lost the true meaning of the martial arts and why would anyone believe that martial arts are only about fighting? Looking forward to your answers.
