Which of these cheapens the reputation of martial arts more?

[IronFist]

heavy metal is better thats how!!

the only thing good about country music is the women.

We are in agreement, sir.

[IronFist]

Simplicity does not serve this conversation.

How are they similar?

Both have Jazz as a background

Both apply virtually identical foundations of western musical styles

Timing and beats follow a generally universal standard

With minor variations, the same instruments are used

The chords used do not differ much at all


Most western music follows the same fundamentals as applied to Jazz. Beats per second, timings, bass/treble annotation, same instruments, many times the same equipment.


I'm sorry, but at what point are we willing to go full retard trying to hold on to a point we know doesn't make sense?

Seriously?

Saying TMA and MMA are the same because they both hit the bag and both hit the mitts is the same as saying heavy metal and country music are the same because they both play notes on a guitar.

You are confusing what you are saying with what I am saying.

You are comparing apples and oranges, and struggling with it as well.

So if I'm doing the samba can I call it the traditional tango since both are dancing and involve moving the feet?

nope, but no matter what, you are dancing.

you can make all the divisions you like, box things up in tidy categories, but the fact of the matter is that music is music, dancing is dancing, fighting is fighting, drinking is drinking, screwing is screwing and so on.

Good, bad, indifferent, no matter because the root always is more to the branch than the branch is to the root.
