As for modern MMA, I still fail to see what good about it. After 15 years of watching it grow and evolve, it's still just old arts mixed together. There is nothing superior about it at all.
It's funny to see traditional kung fu guys continue to put down MMA and constantly chest puff about how much better their training and style are, and make statements such as "it's just old arts mixed together". Ironically enough, the same can be said for most traditional Kung Fu styles. Yet that is ok, because, you know, it's Kung Fu. Why is it that Kung Fu stylists are so threatened by MMA? Please tell me, I would love to know.
