History and Tradition vs Reality

Many martial artists like to boast that the art and style that they follow is the result of a 3000 year tradition. Many like to point out the fact that their art is descended from a long line of grandmasters who have upheld the tradition of combat as practiced in ancient times when men rode horses and brandished swords. The importance of learning the horse stance in a world where no one rides horses anymore is questionable at best. Ancient Mongolian warriors could ride a horse at full speed without a saddle and turn all the way back at shoot arrows with pinpoint precision. The ability to do so in today’s world would not only be irrelevant but also wasted effort. Imagine riding a horse on the streets of Mumbai while toting a bow and arrow slung across your back. Absurd? Absolutely.

Many practices followed since hundreds of years have lost their relevance in a world where weapons are no longer brandished. Weapons have changed from bows and arrows to guns that can be used with no skill and no experience. So it’s more important to follow the principles of Simplicity, Directness & Efficiency in order to survive than blindly follow the tenets of tradition. Reality in martial training is important as training is geared towards one’s survival in the urban scenario. In mega citites like Mumbai, Self Defence requires one to be able to respond to attacks from anyone at anytime; in the train, on the street, at a traffic signal, driving on the highway, etc. Training while focusing on reality and immediacy is more important in today’s world than learning traditional forms that are no longer relevant or effective.
