Im obviously talking about "All powers" or pancration wrestling. Over 200years Old. But what I wanted to get some feedback on is. The UFC was originaly set up to find the "best fighting systems", and like the other compitions in the early phase pitted style against style. And over time we have now realised there is no superior style, only a superior man. In this day in age it is difficult to say that guys a... and so on, becasue of the free-style approach. Bruce Lee pointed this out along time ago, and the acients of over 200years ago knew that there was only a fighter. But now there are still peole who kwoble over which style is better, its ridiculus. I just wonder how slow the evelution of martial arts will be, it seems that conversations are going stale. We need to stop putting things into compartments, like saying you belong to a perticular truth, the definition of what a martial artist is, is in the beholder, and can change from person to person and time to time.
