i simply believe there’s a huge difference between a fighting technique and a martial art. one is a spiritual and physical pursuit for perfection that incorporates form, function, and list of proverbs discipline. the other is a set of techniques for combat devoid of any greater spiritual purpose. it doesn’t mean the techniques are no good, they’re simply learned and used for a different list of proverbs purpose. you’ll find great fighters in the UFC, but not great martial artists, because great martial artists don’t fight for sport list of proverbs and profit. your analogy with Tiger Claw is very apt. the spirit of the tiger, however, doesn’t come from the form or the technique, it comes from the study and the spiritual discipline – the removal of the ego and the channeling of a greater force through the body.
