In your opinion do you think the new trend of MMA is taking the spiritual aspect out of traditional arts?
Im not saying all MMa fighters but a lot have abandoned one of the benefits of martial arts (meditation and breathing) that is suppose to develop their spiritual as well as their physical
Since MMA is a mere sport with no real tradition, etiquette or formalities then I would have to say no but they do not need these things either because it is just that…a sport.
Most people today forget that authentic martial arts are not just about the ability to defend one’s self but rather about living a better way of life. They have switched their focus to combative sports rather than the true discipline of daily study which makes it an art form as well. Meditation and proper breathing techniques for healing will benefit anyone one but trying to teach a MMA person, who is very closed minded, is like trying to get human blood from non human…it just will not happen.
There are many people out there who want to train in authentic and real martial arts instead of MMA because they realize that MMA is not the real thing but just using adaptive skills of the arts in a fight to pursue self gratification, ego personification and sometimes money. I do not feel that MMA has done anything to harm the spiritual aspects of authentic martial arts since they only know one side of them which is the warrior part. A complete warrior must have a peaceful mind, body and spirit…not just compete to win some dumb fights. Good question.
