Traditional martial arts and mixed martial arts

The birth of the martial limbs mixed has obliged all practicing of martial limbs to one the serious reflection on the relationship between the limbs from chosen they and most realistic and complete between the sports from combat. In the dojo and arena they were not looked at you debate yourself similar from the times in which Bruce Lee it broke off openly with the methodology of the traditional schools in order to propose like alternative an eclectic method that took the best from various styles of combat. For many backs, the development of the mixed martial limbs was direct heir of the theories of Bruce Lee R-with regard to the combat. Although it is true that Lee was not interested to the sport from combat in how much such one, but it preferred to take care itself of systems of personal defense, the mixed martial limbs served from test bench that confirmed the ideas of Lee R-with regard to the necessity to stir various styles and not to remain captive of a single style.
The martial artists who seguissero a style, in fact, only made regularly fine little glorious when they were confronted in the ring against combatants who mischiassero the best of various styles. After little years from birth of the sport, no combatant dared more to enter in the ring without having one solid preparation in several various styles. Several traditional martial artists, particularly in Japan, have lived the development of the mixed martial limbs like one critical constructive, a laboratory where to put to the test all the ancient theories and where to discard those that did not work and to deepen those that did not come less to the practical action. The mixed martial limbs, in other words, served like instrument in order to separate to the tradition alive from blind obedience to a shape dead woman. But if it is true that many martial artists did not see some conflict between the mixed tradition and martial limbs, many others did not consider possible (and they still do not consider possible) a harmonious wedding of the two you live. Some tradizionalisti are contrary to the mixed martial limbs for the same reason for which they had been contrary to Bruce Lee: the idea to stir the styles is for they pure blasfemia. _ like the supporter the more fondamentalisti to the religion, some tradizionalisti martial believe that the truth of the combat go find in the "unica true via", that is the their style preferred. To stir the techniques and methodologies of just the style with those of others is for they offensive therefore like is offensive, for many Muslims and many Christians, the idea to stir their religion with animisti, taoisti, buddhist, shintoisti any other (and confucianist usually they do not make this kind of problems). Although the fact that all the tests empiricists have demonstrated that a synthesis very made of various ideas triumphs always on the dogma of the true "unica via", from true faithfuls these tradizionalisti do not leave that simple data of fact can make to change they idea. One critical less dogmatic and more turned sensata to the mixed martial limbs was that one that found its roots in the opposition of some tradizionalisti to all the shapes of sport from combat. Several tradizionalisti, in fact, see the own martial practice as "I give", one via for the personal increase that does not have to be reduced to a simple method of combat.
The martial limbs are for they a spiritual way, a philosophy shape that joins body and mind, one forge of the character, one life style. To reduce the martial art to mere sport (particularly to professionistico sport characterized from millionaire contracts, lights of the reflectors, assatanato public and so on) is orrendo a waste, that it loses road that that is important in order to chase that that it is ephemeral. Desire to more gain than every other thing (without which it cannot be competitive athletes you to a high level) is for they symptom of an ego too much grown, than badly it is accompanied to a practical one of increase characterizes them. That this critic picks some veritieri elements, not there are doubts. The world of the sport is made without ipertrofici doubt of ego and much stupidity, but a lot is of agreement on noblest objects you of the tradizionalisti, a lot finds that in refusing the sport dimension these throw via the child with the dirty water. Some athletes, in fact, find in the practical sportswoman those same things that others find in the traditional martial art. Anyone has never felt to speak combatant like Carlos Newton, Genki Sudo or Evan Tanner cannot have doubts on the fact that this is people that live the sport like one life school. The victories or the defeats are not important in how much such, but as tests, thanks to which to forge the character. The sport from combat is not that a way. The destination of this way is not equal for all, but it depends on the vision and from the personality of who it covers it. Mixed tradition and martial limbs do not have by force to be antithetic forces, in constant opposition, but wanting it they can be complementary energies in the most classic dance of the yin and the yang.
