		The moment a martial art acquires rules of competition, divisions, and rules of engagement or protection the martial part of martial arts is lost and the martial art in question becomes a completely different thing.
		In my opinion the best martial art is the one that gives you most options of survival in a true case of life and dead struggle with a professional opponent.
		This means that the martial art must be prepared and give the practitioner the possibility and means to deal with both armed as well as unarmed opponents, single or multiple attacks and so on.

	GRTC: The Martial and the Civil in Yang Style Taijiquan
		Martial arts lore attributes the creation of taijiquan (tai chi chuan) to the legendary taoist saint Zhang Sanfeng (Chang San Feng), a figure whose dubious historicity is evidenced by the enormous certainty about when he actually lived.
		While any martial art claiming kinship with modern taijiquan (tai chi chuan) would have had to contain some of the spiritual, meditative, and medicinal elements emphasized by current practitioners, the Chen family art was esteemed first and foremost as a practical fighting system, and this is what attracted Yang to it.
		Chengfu's teaching career was short, as he was not a martial arts prodigy, and died at the age of 53 ó the health benefits of taijiquan (tai chi chuan) practice perhaps being insufficient in the end to offset the effects of his hard-drinking lifestyle.

	Martial Art or Combat Sport
		Between a martial art and a combat sport, even when each is pursued as a “non-lethal combative”, there are differences in the tools and their application, in the conditions, the environment, training exercises, practice drills, equipment, clothing, and range of activities and actions, as well as general intent.
		A martial art in contrast, can be said to be about theoretical life or death survival in a violent encounter or contest.
		When practitioners have to study the instructions of the old masters in light of what they are “allowed” to do “under the rules”, it changes the entire outlook of how and why they practice their swordplay in the first place.

	Martial Art vs Sport
		Because of their alleged danger or lethality, many martial arts engage in artificial and even counter-productive training which involves "pulling" techniques, modifying the point of contact, and adding in a precautionary element of movement that, rather than training the body, can inhibit its natural action and the ultimate conclusion of a technique.
		Ironically, martial sports may provide the superior training in effective combat techniques because martial arts can't be practiced in a real life way without injury.
		Although martial arts and sports both have loftier goals, it is still a fact that many people train in martial arts primarily for self-defense.
