In another thread, people mentioned that one may train TMA but fight like kickboxer. If the TMA founder had fighting experience, should the style that he created be more like kickboxing?
For example, if an ancient TMA master fought all his life, in one of his fights, he found out that the roundhouse kick and hook punch worked very well. When he created his TMA system, should he include the roundhouse kick and hook punch into his training?
My logic is the following:
If you fight enough -> you will fight like kickboxer -> the TMA style you create will be like kickboxing.
If you don't fight enough -> you will fight like the way you want to -> the TMA style you create will be like TMA.
What's your opinion on this?
