re: #643 Sergey Romanov
I don’t even understand the point of the pedigree stuff, either. If you want to invent a new martial art, do it. New martial arts are awesome. Aikido is new, and it’s one of the pre-eminent martial art forms. Krav Maga is new and it’s probably the pre-eminent noncompetitive martial art form.
And besides, we’ve learned a lot about the human body since the old ones were developed. Even traditional styles like jujitsu have taken that knowledge in.
