that would drama be fighting technique. drama 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, to facilitate scoring. this is true of many sports based on real drama martial arts, such as boxing, tae kwon do, and 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. the very idea of willfully competing against another judoka is somewhat against that mentality. again, this is in no way an indictment against the skill of the people involved in the sport, i just personally believe it’s necessary to differentiate between the art and the sport.
