No it hasn't, because it works. Otherwise they wouldn't be forbidden in the ring, would they? There's plenty of Bullshit Do out there, no doubt. But there is also plenty of useful knowledge and experienced teachers that you miss if you assume that everyone who came before you was a complete idiot. Many martial arts were honed into more or less perfection over hundreds of years by people just as intelligent as you and me, but with generations of experience from actual mortal combat. Living another day is a pretty good motivation for training and evolving. Much of that is still around, but it's not being marketed. Because it's not what most people are looking for, it's too real and ego-killing. Because it's barely allowed; you can't spar out in the open with real knives or swords for example, you'll end up in a cell before you know what happened. And because it's been Disneyfied, by people like Jack Mace and Master Wong. Once you've spent tens of years really training martial arts, as opposed to sports or pretending in silly uniforms; there's not going to be much to prove any more. If there is, you're doing it wrong. I prefer not fighting, people get hurt best case. So I can't really show you anything that looks like MMA, because that's just not how we train. And we don't do competitions; because there are no winners; just two banged up idiots, one happy and one sad.
