The big question is why

Nice post, Tony. I agree that learning the basics of movement principles in power generation are very important to any MA that one studies, and taking shortcuts are not going to help anyone in this area.

I guess i lived through all the martial art fads, let me see if I can recall them. There was Mat Helm (Dean Martin) who beat up Carlos Norris (chuck) back in the day. Spencer Tracy did a little karate in a movie and then on to Bruce Lee and the first fad, Kung fu. then there was the ninja fad, then the combat knife fad, then the Tae Kwon Do Olympic Fad, The Jujitsu fad and now the MMA thing...It works none of it is the best so go train in what you like and see what you can do, I did...
