Am I the only one who notices? (Subjects of Martial Arts Discussions on Social Media)

[Spartacus Maximus]

This entire trend of ´calling out’ schools or ´confronting ´ individuals is completely foreign and uninteresting. Westerners, and especially Americans seem to have this singularly odd obsession with  confrontation and calling out people they disagree with for almost any trivial thing.

Why should one be concerned with what another school teachers or how someone else trains? What does anyone gain from doing it? Isn’t that time better spent learning and improving one’s own skills. It is unfortunate how easily people forget that in martial arts the purpose of the practice and objectives are as different as those practising.

I sincerely doubt that us Americans have cornered the market on this subject. As long as humans are on earth, this concern will always exist globally.
