What you call TMA (John) is what I've already stated is a Sport based off TMAs, those sport systems are extremely limited by there rules. Sport Judo doesn't teach striking and sport karate doesn't teach grappling. Shotokan origionally had only 15 katas and and noew there are 30+ why? Because kata competitions have become popular. Most of the Grappling techniques heavy in the Okinawan stystems of karate where removed to make sport karate more dramatic.
By that logic BJJ doesn't exist its just judo, it came from judo and therefore its TMA judo. Just because something is derived from something it doesn't make the same thing as what created it... |
