Don't hate the player hate the game

2019-07-16 10:24:48 UTC  

Anyways, it was kinda easy way to make money when people like Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris were famous

2019-07-16 10:25:21 UTC  

people wanted exciting martial arts and not boring "guys grappling each other on the floor for minutes" type of action

2019-07-16 10:25:28 UTC  

Add a dose of "oriental mysticism" and it's like waking in the park

2019-07-16 10:26:59 UTC  

And tbf, old martial arts like karate do work. Problem is that people don't know the context it was designed for

2019-07-16 10:27:20 UTC  

Most martial arts have that problem

2019-07-16 10:27:35 UTC  

lot of context is ignored because some average people don't know what context is

2019-07-16 10:27:42 UTC  

Exactly

2019-07-16 10:27:54 UTC  

Asian martial arts really benefitted from the fact that it was less about practical combat training, and more about entertaining the emperor or shogun. That meant the moves were often really fancy, which made them look more appealing from an entertainment point of view.

European martial arts is often better in a street fight, but it doesn't look pretty. So people don't watch it.

2019-07-16 10:28:05 UTC  

Eh, yes and no

2019-07-16 10:28:13 UTC  

Karate was peasant art

2019-07-16 10:28:20 UTC  

Entertainment.

2019-07-16 10:28:23 UTC  

That's my point.

2019-07-16 10:28:27 UTC  

heh

2019-07-16 10:28:28 UTC  

wrestling

2019-07-16 10:28:35 UTC  

ANd it had the context of "we don't have weapons, nobles do"

2019-07-16 10:28:48 UTC  

And no, it wasn't entertainment

2019-07-16 10:28:56 UTC  

Lolgay

2019-07-16 10:28:56 UTC  

the ancient sumo technique

2019-07-16 10:29:06 UTC  

Sumo was samurai art

2019-07-16 10:29:10 UTC  

dig it

2019-07-16 10:29:15 UTC

2019-07-16 10:29:23 UTC
