Man, you come right out of a comic book 🤣TMA is you try to develop 1 MA skill that you can do better than everybody else on this planet. Anybody wants to learn that skill, they have to come to you.
Someone drilled this punch non-stop from one city to another city. Nobody could block his powerful punch in fighting. This is TMA.
The reason that I cross trained the Zimen system because the Zimen master Xiong Jian-Xun had used his fingertips to hit on his opponent's chest and caused his opponent to vomit blood for the next 10 years. I wanted to learn how he did.Man, you come right out of a comic book 🤣
You have a great sense of fun Mr. WangThe reason that I cross trained the Zimen system because the Zimen master Xiong Jian-Xun had used his fingertips to hit on his opponent's chest and caused his opponent to vomit blood for the next 10 years. I wanted to learn how he did.
There are many reasons for cross training. It may not be for competition.

Definition of martial arts, Wikipedia...
Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons such as self-defense; military and law enforcement applications; competition; physical, mental, and spiritual development; entertainment; and the preservation of a nation's intangible cultural heritage.
Combat (French for fight) is a purposeful violent conflict meant to physically harm or kill the opposition. Combat may be armed (using weapons) or unarmed (not using weapons). Combat is sometimes resorted to as a method of self-defense, or can be used as a tool to impose one's will on others.
I truly believe thatOr basically rejecting reality and substituting our own.
I truly believe that
- self-cultivation,
- inner peace,
- spiritual enhancement,
- cultural preservation,
- fight without fighting,
- world peace,
- ...
should not be included in the combat discussion. If you punch my face and say you are doing for the world peace, I won't accept that.
I've watched the first two videos. I have some commentary, but I'm waiting until I have a chance to watch the 3rd and 4th before I post a reaction.Have you watched the videos four videos by Adam Chan?

I also like to separate street fight from ring sparring and mat wrestling. This way, we don't have to involve legal issue into our discussion.What about enlightenment or character as gained through hardship?
Eg.
