There has been a lot of discussion regarding martial arts lately due to this thing about "being effective in the octagon", and a lot of dudes not only proclaiming the superiority of MMA but also mocking other martial arts for being a "waste of time", ineffective fairytales, scams and several other things, you my man and leaning to the other side by writing those statements about the "letal" techniques of Wing Chung and how because of their dangerous life threatening nature they are banned from being used in MMA, that is a fallacious argument when a lot of other dangerous things are allowed in MMA, and also no, neither bruce lee nor Ip man had, at least that are docummented public sparring matches against boxers and other martial arts that only happened in movies.
What do we make about some current things going on in martial arts
Some martial arts have consolidated as of now, not because "they are the best" and the rest are trash as some people want make it, but because their practicallity in a short amount of time, make them the ones that have also refined themselves into ones that offer best returns for serveral types of situations that are also the most common, among them we have in no particular order:
* boxing
* MMA
* Kickboxing
* Muay Thai
* BJJ
* Judo
* Wrestling
* some other south east asian martial arts
* maybe other that im forgetting
now it is obviously dependent in a lot of factors, but one of the main ones I can think of, is that in the other martial arts there are a lot of problems currently going on that hamper them to offer better results when compared against some of the martial arts listed above, for example i'm no fan of the tons of videos showing MMA dudes beating the crap out of karate, kungfu, wingchung, taichi and other "martial arts masters" because it only shows guys that are so delusional about being "grand masters" without never ever having truly had a sparring combat against someone, that they are an easy prey for guys wanting to make a fool of the martial arts that have become more of a sport or an exhibition thing like a dance.
