What you see on TV is an aberration of fighting strategies most of which cannot be used for true street or battlefield tactics. However, I really do understand your commentary.

So if there is no war... It will still exist as the sports entertainment value is still there. Thanks for the post. again. :) Lamy <a href="http://www.strike6alpha.com/" rel="nofollow">Martial Art Training</a> Agree with Nick O, martial arts are also a form of sports.

I believe it is a much different art-form than other forms of movement such as sports and dance, even if there are similarities. I would still be training if violence was never a possibility, though I'm also not sure if I would've ever had an interest in starting because violence led me to consider it. On the other hand, it might've just been the discipline. I still think martial arts is an art and has much more application than self defense.
