| I am going to make some people angry but I have to say.....the inclusion of ground fighting as an important skill. |

I'm the best thing that happened to martial arts lately.  Ha! that's a laugh!
I really don't know what is the most important thing but I would love to see what people say.

I have to say it is the internet.
The internet provides excellant sources for information and discussion. Just think of how much we all get out of this site.
It matters not the topic the internet wins - hands down in my opinion.

the best thing to happen to the martial arts lately is people realizing the need for cross-training in a stand up and ground fighting style
i remember back in the day when i was about 13 doing taekwon-do nobody ever did ANY cross training, we were strictly taekwon-do students and thats it.
it was then when i realized that i should do some cross training. im 17 now and im glad i realized it then rather then now |

Remembering "back in the day when you were 13" from when you're 17???
You're not allowed to use that line yet.  |

The openness and receptivity of martial artists to teachings and methods of other styles is a real breakthrough. And I think this is a gift of this generation.

...actually this was brought up in class tonight.
Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, many martial arts studios report receiving calls from people who want to defend themselves in the event of an airline hijacking, including flight attendants and pilots. People want to protect themselves and conquer their fears ...more and more 'common' people are looking to the martial arts not only for physical fitness but also emotional wellness.
