Edward asked:


To me, a martial art is a system of combat for use in battle/war only put into an art form (hence the word martial). This means that martial arts can use any weapon, including the body. Martial arts are much more than self-defense, but can be used as such. Sports are games with rules and regulations for safety. Real martial arts dont have rules. Are you seriously going to say in a real fight sorry, you cant do that becuase its cheating. What defenatly makes martial arts not sports is the fact of spiritual development. Real martial artists are beyond a mere athlete. Martial artists strengthen their spirit to increase their fighting potential. This MMA isnt a real martial art. All they do is grab their opponent and pound their face in. Thats an art? Many will say that martial arts wont work in a real fight because they dont know what real martial arts are. I am very frustrated on this topic because such a complex and beautiful thing is dying out. Please help me out here.
Also, there is this notion that a black belt is a master. That is true to a point. In modern martial arts, a black belt far from a master. The requirements of becoming a black belt are dropping more and more each year. Ive seen so called masters that seem like they have only practiced the art for a few months. Form is excelent, but fighting skill and spirit is crap.

Mr SmoothHead asked:


Why is it that martial arts people use unusual weapons such as nunchucks, flying stars, throwing smoke bombs, or weird swords, when it would be much easier to kill with a shotgun?

Uncertain asked:


People these days never fight one on one, they are cowards and fight in groups and gangs, sometimes even with weapons. I would like to know if there are any martial arts that can teach you to take on a group of people and to come out the victor.

I want to know martial arts but too confused which one to take. They say that it depends on how you train and use it. I am not satisfied with answers like that. I need recommendations from the experts.
