Do you think the name of a martial art effects the number of people who start training in that art?
The names of certain arts sound cool (I hate that word, but it's quite apt!): you have Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, Tae-Kwon-Do, Ninjutsu, Muay Tai and Tang Soo Do, which have are very cool and mystic sounding; then, on the other hand, you have Judo, Hapkido, Karate, Aikido and Kempo.
I mean NO disrespect to any of the arts named above. My question refers specifically to the NAME of the martial arts. Of course, my opinions of ‘coolness’ are subjective.
On a similar vein, have any martial arts changed their name? IÂ’m not referring to martial arts that have branched off from another, but martial arts that have changed their name but remained the same martial art?
