Simple question, why does it seem that Chinese martial artists of old tend to always go around challenging other schools? Am I wrong? Is there more to this? Anything will be appreciated.

It wasn't just the CMA guys. Challenge matches, territorial pissing contests, and flipping the **** out if a guy from another school "disrespected" you by coming into your dojo was common behavior in many arts. This sort of thing started dying out in the early 80's I think.
true
I can bear witness to the above statement. It still goes on from time to time eveb in the USA but not nearly as often as it once did.
It did keep those with no real knowledge from opening or keeping open schools
Yeah maybe it did serve a good purpose ,might have stopped some people from being ripped off.Just think if this was still going on, someone would have shut down the "Ki Master's " school long ago. HAHA.
