My definition of a traditionalist MA:

A person who decided in life to pursue a system of martial arts that would change them as a person on the whole. It's not about only fighting or fame. It's about personal, mental and possibly spiritual development that can help enhance the practitioner's life, health, and relationships. It's a life-long commitment that is never truly satisfied and constantly seeks personal growth. It is a person who devotes their life to their chosen style(s) and system(s) with no reason to leave less a total inability to reach their goals with that(those) style(s) or system(s)(this doesn't include financial or relocation because you can still be devoted to the personal development the system promotes).

This defines me. Anyone else here feel the same w/wo some minor differences?

I take a Universal Stance regarding the Martial Arts.
