VIDEO: Learn about the roots of Chinese martial arts!
When I was 13 years old I came across probably one of the best Martial Arts movies that has ever been created. It was Enter the Dragon, starring a great martial artist, philosopher, and actor, Bruce Lee. His passion for martial arts overshadowed his acting and took hold of him in such a way that it moved me emotionally. I wanted that. I wanted the emotion and passion that Bruce had shown through all of his movies. His passion was real. A great actor could not make you feel the same amount of emotion that he put in every movement.
Modern Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
The question that stands is do you feel the style you train in should be considered a martial art at all? If you are a “mixed martial artist” that trains in muay thai, wrestling, and jiu jitsu for example should you be considered a martial artist? Mixed Martial Artists definitely have many of the same qualities of their traditional counter parts such as perseverance, dedication, hardwork, discipline, and so on. However, do they necessarily have the other moral codes (i.e. honor, respect, etc.) associated with traditional martial arts?

Muay Thai
Muay Thai is a combat sport of Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This physical and mental discipline which includes combat on shins is known as "the art of eight limbs" because it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, shins, being associated with a good physical preparation that makes a full-contact fighter very efficient. Muay Thai became widespread internationally in the twentieth century, when practitioners defeated notable practitioners of other martial arts.
