Karate-addict Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 How does one determine what "great" means in martial arts?Only winning tournaments?I think that everyone is talking about sport karate fighters in this topic, so I guess those guys that won most of their fights are considered "great" in sport karate. But as far as "great" in MA is consered I think that those martial artists that devoted their lives to practising, studying and teaching MA for decades are "great". hara wo neru
