Just because it's not going to be useful in a cage fight you make it sound like all those years of developing discipline and improving health is useless... I'm sorry but Martial Arts in more than just about bashing the shit out of someone and proving you're the tough man...

Oh yeah, shoot wrestling is your answer to MMA. It stayed in Japan, it was a novelty here in the US.
If it were not for the Gracie's, there would be no UFC, No Ultimate Figher TV show, no MMA at all.
Sure the Martial Arts is for all that stuff. It's what the McDojo's sold to parents, good on yours for believing it.
Look up the definition of Martial, you don't seem to know it.
If it wasn't about bashing someones head in, then the "marital arts" would be called "Yoga".
