MTF - I think you are referring to theatre opra like the peking opera in china, but oyu can't callapse the styles of China, korea, japan an okinawa. Into one group while there there is a heavy influence from China these style are different......and I am sorry to say Yes very effective MT is not the only art on the plant. Can a MT fighter beat an legitimate shoalin, wing chun, HunGar, Praying Mantis or eagale claw fighter you cannot honestly say yes or no. These are internal arts there is a reason fro the flow that you call ballet. Most Japanese styles are very hard and are not ballet like at all (and certainly would not be entertaining).
People do take MA for various reasons and not everyone that takes MT goes in to a ring or desires to. Alot go for the health benefit. It sounds like somone really ticked you off, but you should attack the rest of the martial arts on teh planet because of it. MT is a good art, but it has holes in and out of competition just like any other art.
Anyway we can always agree to disagree
