Well MT has adapted in some ways as it has added new kicks and since the 20's modern western boxing as well, it is adding new techniques all the time for clinch elbow and knee.

It is still MT and the same system.

It is evolving, the only time you need to rename is others do not accept the changes, i believe.

Good point though.

But my point is that if the style is an evolutionary one, generally any good technique added will be recognised as one and will be added to the system, and most will agree to it.

If the system is one of strict tradition and reamains static, if someone wants to change it then like you say they will need to forma new style.

I guess this is a difference between static and evolving styles.

Like you say MT is static with its approach to ground fighting, indeed if it is added it will no douubt be renamed, but im sure someone will point out there is a system like this already. I KNOW. just making a point.
