I've been thinking alot about this lately, and i wnted to see some of your opinions.

First, i've always presented myself as a fighter....not for sport....but for survival. So i too am likely to pay attention to modern martial trends, but i like to stay traditional........now until recently i had a different game plan on my teaching. but this question popped up im my mind while driving the other day.


since mma has exploded as it has, i was wondering if anyone felt that mma will become to downfall to traditional martial arts? i no longer teach forms first like the old days. but if a tcma school isn't keeping up with the times.....does that mean that style will ultimately become extinct because of mma?
