i take taekwondo and i love martial arts. recently ive been really frustrated with lots of people who think they know about martial arts. the most annoying thing is when people say a certain style is not affective. most of the people saying that dont even take the style so how would you know? also i hate how people think martial arts is all about learning how to beat someone up. martial arts were created to teach self defence and other principles to make a better person. mma organizations like ufc and pride shouldnt be called really martial arts. they learn ma to beat the other people up for money and glory. people thinking that sparring is fighting bugs me too. i have a friend who asks what is the purpose of sparring if you aren't trying to beat the other person up as much as you can. sparring is an activity that builds strength, focus, technique, speed, sportsmanship, and reflex. it's not just a fight with protective gear.people who dont know ma should shut up
thank u
