Have traditional martial arts been distorted?

The only problem is most teachers today don't even know the full history of an art.Most teachers don't realize kung fu is the terrible mis translation of chaun fa.What's worse is that most don't even realize the purpose Chaun Fa had for Buddhist monks.When it comes to self defense,the traditional martial arts,in all reality,have real no self defense equivelent.Now some do,but most teach katas and techniques as self defense when they where actualy created for a different purpose.That's why Bjj did so well in real fighting situations.It was made for that soul purpose.

But try finding someone who knows genuine Ninjtsu and didn't learn it in Master "Dicks" garage or have it handed down through Master "Wanks" dojo with his "certificate" on the wall and a federation no one has heard of. 😉 but then isn't Ninjitsu like so much Kung Sockey secret 😂

ok, all ninjutsu is a knowledge of-
Tai Jitsu
Jiu Jitsu
Judo
Ninja Ken
Okinawan weapons
horseback riding
basic chemistry (explosives, smoke bombs)
gymnastics

kool, not to sound dumb or anything but what's bjj?

Brazillan Ju jitsu

oooo.....i'm so dumb....

There's a lot of commercialism and a lot of distortion of martial arts schools because of ego and greed. 🙁

so has anyone research hwa rang Do, i think it's a very effective martial art...

I'll do that sometime.

I just learned how to throw a perfect Ka Me Ha Me Ha yesterday, and Master Roshi is now teaching me the Kaio-Ken technique. I can use energy burts to level buildings, and increase my body size and power times two. Now THAT'S badass 😉

simply childish....^

I'm a super saiyan level 4.

*sigh* you gotta be KIDDING ME!! fine......SS2 here..only cuz i'm a girl...

Don't sell yourself short.

yeah yeah...just a joke fro crying out loud.

Excuse ME for having a bit of fun here...I will now leave you and your "advanced" sense of maturity" to contemplate how someone like YOU can be in the same thread as someone like ME, and when you're done eating you can toss me the bone to chew on while I bow down and use my fragile body as a bridge so you won't step in the puddle of mud with your new 200 Rockport wingtips as you step into the back of your new limo from Rolls Canardly (rolls downhill, can ardly start...)

Is THAT mature enough for you? So THERE....I guess I told YOU a thing or two or three... 😛 😛 😛 😄
