What is the differences between a Tradtional Martial Arts (TMA) Tournament vs common martial arts?
The common understanding of Traditional Martial Arts (TMA) in Asia is that it incorporates morals, etiquette, and meaning along with mental, physical and spiritual development – but in the U.S.… Show more the common focus is on a visible target. The focus of TMA tournaments is on winning over yourself, whereas the focus on tournaments of common martial arts or sports is winning over others. In the U.S. today most tournaments focus purely on winning over your opponent. Winning over others is victory, winning over yourself is success. If you only challenge yourself to be better than someone else then you will never reach your fullest potential. The goal is to challenge yourself, or ‘win over yourself’, to reach your fullest potential for your ultimate mental, physical, and spiritual development; that is success. This success directly improves every aspect of your life; you carry that with you always.
