that is martial art. however, you can practice the techniques of the art without the meditation or the spirituality and pride make great use of them, without ever becoming the tiger. that would be fighting technique. furthermore, sport fighting puts all sorts of unnatural restrictions on the art, for the necessity (as you pointed out) of keeping the competitors alive, or in the case of some sports, pride to facilitate scoring. this is true of many sports based on real martial arts, such as boxing, tae kwon do, and pride judo. competitors in these sports can be, and usually are, incredibly skilled – but to compete in the sport removes an essential element of the art’s mentality. take judo for example. the mentality of the art is that of softness, yielding, and non-confrontation.
