MASTER THE BASICS Has Traditional Martial Arts Philosophy Become Obsolete by Master Tina Bane We are standing at a crossroads. The direction we choose will determine the future of the martial arts for the next generation. That is a pretty heavy responsibility, when you think about it. One road is the way of the UFC. The other road is the way of traditional martial arts. Which path should we, as the leaders of the martial arts industry, follow? Unquestionably, the way of traditional martial arts. If we want to preserve our 5,000 year tradition, we should respect that tradition. If we want to preserve the business that feeds our families, we should go home with the partner that brought us to the dance. Sure, the UFC is exciting. It has great ratings and a powerful promotional machine behind it. It’s tempting to jump on the bandwagon, but how many students do you think want to get grounded and pounded? How many students do you need to support a successful martial arts school? Do you really believe a UFC style school can be financially secure? How many successful boxing gyms do you see in your city? How many successful wrestling schools do you see in your city? These are Olympic sports with long histories, but they do not represent a viable business plan. On the other hand, there are probably several successful martial arts schools in your city . . . hopefully yours is one of them. What is the difference? When you focus on winning championships, whether that championship is represented by a belt or a medal, you can only have one champion. On the other hand, when you focus on self-development, everyone can be a champion. Only one person can become the Olympic Champion or the UFC Champion, but every student can become a life champion. The physical techniques are important, but only as a means to develop the internal person. Traditional martial arts schools that focus on the philosophy of the martial arts will be more successful than schools that focus on only the physical techniques. When we find simple ways to incorporate philosophy into the classroom our martial arts training is truly practical and relevant for everyday use and not merely emergencies. Can we create a martial arts competition that is more in line with traditional martial arts values? We hope so. One possibility is to have exhibition competitions, which show all the beauty and excitement of the martial arts without the violence. Another is to create team sparring competitions, possibly tag-team competitions to increase the action. We are the current leaders of the martial arts. We are standing at the crossroads. It is up to us which road we follow. It just makes sense that we follow the path that brought us here, the way of traditional martial arts. Both economically and philosophically, it is the right choice. MASTER TINA BANE is a 6th degree master instructor and owner of a Top Ten martial arts school with successful after school and summer camp programs. 88 MARTIAL ARTS WORLD NEWS VOLUME 22 | SPECIAL EDITION Photograph by ia_64
