Many of us don't hate cma. heck, a few of us used to train it. But you made a point which I addressed. Welcome to discussion. As for being the oldest survivng country, I'm pretty sure that would be anywhere in africa...
Cma can be called whatever they like but i will say it is more likely to survive the long term than any other art simply due to its track record. it has been here the longest for some reason and it has the most detractors that is usually a sign that it is percevied as the most able adversary to the ones that wish to be recognized as legitimate.
folk wrestling predates cma. every civilization since the beginning of recorded time has had it. And it is still around today. anything that anyone sees some need for stand the potential to stand the test of time.
