There are a lot of people who believe that the majority of martial art schools are compeitive base for tourneys. I asked my instructure this and he said that there are a lot of schools out there some are and some are not. there are schools that dont advertise so we dont know about them and some masters only teach to a select private group.
To say that statement would be false unless you were the almighty and could see every person on the planet and the schools. There is no evidence to back all of that up.

There is much more we do not know than what we do know.

I was having a little debate with another person and they say that most schools only teach for competition and are not good for streets, but I say where is your proof unless you know every school in the world. It is only based on his experiances.

What I meant is that the little knowledge we have is insignificant compared to the knowledge we haven't obtained yet. There is so much to learn and we can't know everything and as long as we know that we, will be more open to learning. So basically, anything is possible and to say it is not is just silly. Blah,  blah, blah....

ahhhhh......I got it now..thanks guys/gals...uhhhhh..whatever's?
Well, basically I don't know what percentage of dojo/dojang/schools out there put an emphasis on tournament-type martial arts as compared to self-defense. My experiences have been about 50/50 or so, with TKD being the most prevalent system (remember, in MY experiences) that is geared primarily towards tournament-type karate, and not effective self-defense skills. Of course, you're experiences might differ, so don't jump on me please!!! 
An uninformed observer new to the arts will have a tough time (I'd suspect anyway) of telling which is which (sport vs self-defense emphasis)as an observer to a class. Best bet would be to take someone along that knows a bit more what they're looking at. |
