MT in the west has changed it seems in Thailand it is still roughly the same

I think the problem is STYLES, if you don't realy have styles, like there is one Judo, one Kendo, one MT, it seems to be easier to adapt, change of the rules or ways applies to everyone

Arts that do have many many styles have this problem that a founder ( who himself DID change a style) set everything, and the rule is if you change you rename, result if I change Shotokan, it may no longer be called Shotokan
Only the founder can change a style there

MT will most likely never get groundfighting, because it too, is tradition ( in Thailand)

If you change something, it isn't the same anymore, so don't call it the same anymore
