Conclusion:
All the things I mentioned are the differences, the distinction is more complex than what I have
mentioned however my idea was to give you basic knowledge so you can choose which style you
want to be in.
An art is art and a sport are a sport. When you are learning and art you need bring lot more thing to the
table apart from your physical abilities. It’s said that movements in any traditional style is like self-defense encyclopedia and you need to have patience and insight to unravel its treasure.
Finally, it’s not about style it’s about us, as a martial artist we need to continually seek methods to
improve ourselves, we need to find weakness in our own training and find methods to
overcome them. We always need to keep our mind open and seek answers.
