I noticed that the trend is for some asshole to come along and take a traditional martial art system and borrow 90% of it's techniques--then these loonies claim to have invented a new martial art fighting system all of their own. Complete with traditional techniqes. That's what pisses me off.



I've read articles that left me wondering.... If these artists ever met anyone that actually tried to inflict some trauma.

If the training needs to work against someone using a weapon then the training better include some serious intent to USE THE WEAPON! Compliant training partners don't help anyone...
