Comparative Martial Arts
Comparative Martial Arts: Six Core Questions
At TanDao, we coined the phrase the Evolving Martial Artist (EMA) to designate an advanced practitioner (warrior/scholar/monk) seeking deeper levels of awareness, skill, knowledge and wisdom on a lifetime journey to mastery. Of course, this is a vague definition so from time to time, our posts will clarify this.
The Evolving Martial Artist seeks a comprehensive overview of the martial way by deeply exploring these core questions:
1. How do traditional and modern martial arts differ?
2. What are the universal principles underlying all styles and systems?
3. What is genuine mastery as opposed to the popular notion of mastery?
4. Are there hidden “secrets”?
5. Is the key to martial arts qi power or the science of biomechanics?
6. Is a martial art an authentic spiritual path?
One intention at TanDao is to continue to examine these six questions with you to redefine martial arts and to discover new possibilities created by the online journey into the world of martial arts.
