Traditional Mixed martial arts?
where i live at ive been seeing alot of traiditional mixed martial arts schools. And if you think about it shaolin martial arts where the original mixed martial arts. Alot of styles contributed by alot of people to one place. Lately in particular i seen a kung fu school that teaches shaolin Chuan Fa,southern mantins boxing,kempo karate, and Brazilian jujitsu
Then i see another school that is goju-ryu and judo. I think its pretty cool. I finally dont feel alone in this principle, other people are doing it too. I mean at the shaolin temple you learn everything that an MMA school learn and more. San shou kickboxing,shuai jiao wrestling , Qin Na submissions, Traditional fighting techniques, plus Qi gong and meditation.
But i think its really cool how some traditionalists and MMA coaches are fusing together to make a unique self-defense program……any thoughts or expereinces
In the short while that I have studied Martial Arts I have came to a conclusion, as many I’m sure would concur, it is not only okay, but I would argue it is necessary to become a better martial artist. I do, though, advocate the preservation of each of these martial art cultures/styles. Mainly in order for the next person to get the same experience as the last, and moreover, for those who wish to draw only from it, be allowed to do so.
