I wonder if I am alone in being a little nervous about this site and the people that do it.
The owner of it was at one point a member here at Martialtalk. I did a search.
He says time and time again that it is all just for fun and not meant to be realistic.
He seems honest about it. But something about playing with realistic looking weapons like this and trying to elevate it to the level of a martial art somehow strikes me as wrong.
Each individual part seems ok. People smack each other with rubber swords for fun, and they shoot each other in air soft combat for fun. It is just the idea of learning something that is really like a form of break dancing and calling it a martial art just does not sit right with me. When you start getting serious about playing with toy guns, it worries me.
I don't know. I have trouble with extreme martial arts weapon competitions. And they are very popular now. Maybe I am just too old, or take the whole concept of both firearms and martial arts too seriously. I have seen a lot of bad stuff, so maybe I am biased due to that.
How do others feel about stuff like this? Maybe other opinions that differ from mine can help me understand. Or it may be that others will let me know I am not alone in my reservations.
