- The Modern Martial arts

,"though we have been ta"'ing specifica""* about the apanese martia" arts# this evo"ution from itsu to o or inother words from concentrating on actua" fighting abi"it* to actua" abi"it* being of on"* secondar* importance# isindicative of most of the modern martia" arts wor"d If *ou read or "isten to a"most an*thing put out b* someone inthe contemporar* martia" arts communit* about training# it wi"" a"most invariab"* be co"ored b* this change in thereason for training

(o put things in perspective# imagine an accountant somewhere in ,merica tr*ing to decide whether or not martia"art training is practica" If training cost him N0 a month# he wi"" spend N.00 per *ear 4hat are the odds that he wi""be robbed in a wa* that his training cou"d stop for N.00 per *ear (herefore from a fisca" perspective it ma'es moresense to save his mone* Eow consider his chances of becoming inured in training# as compared with his chances ofbecoming inured b* an assau"t and *ou soon see that in a practica" sense it rea""* doesnHt ma'e much sense for theaverage citi7en to train in the martia" arts

(here are of course man* good reasons to train that have "itt"e to do with the practica" need for fighting abi"it* (hereare thousands of peop"e across ,merica who is training to fight with a samurai sword Fer* few of them be"ieve the*ma* need to defend themse"ves against sword wie"ding ninas on the wa* to their car at the ma"" (he* train becausethe* eno* it %or the same reason that peop"e p"a* baseba""# or re-enact civi" war batt"es or an* other "eisure activit*(his of course is comp"ete"* different from the situation of the ,rm*

+odern Combatives training therefore stands apart from the vast maorit* of martia" arts training in that producingactua" fighting abi"it* is of primar* concern Both the menta" and ph*sica" benefits of training gain their worth fromtheir usefu"ness in producing more capab"e so"diers
