in fact... i like you, so dont take this the wrong way... but i would go further and say that martial arts is fighting. the origins of all martial arts (with few exceptions) is that they are weaponless fighting systems designed to disable, or even kill the opponent.
90% of what is being taught today as "martial arts" is anything but.
ANYONE who trains day in and day out to kick, block and punch and believes in what they are doing should have NO problem in stepping out behind the building to test what they devote their life to with anyone who wants to. thats what fighting is all about.
anything else is just "exercise"
when you are calling yourself a "Grandmaster...." and getting as much PR as possible for what is obviously a fake "technique" that is impressing legions of kids who finally were able to distract themselves from fantasy role playing games to learn how to use "the force" -- then i have no problems with anyone calling it what it is. if its real.. he should have no problem getting in the ring and throwing people around with his "power" - instead, he got in the ring and promptly got knocked down by someone who looked to barely be an average fighter.
the guy in the video is disrespecting martial arts imho. the guy who knocked him on his ass set things right.
