Last time journals write different articles constantly, comparing martial art. For example, karate and Taekwondo. We ceased to understand truly sense Budo and Busido! As kids, as adults we can't discern beaty movie image of reality. In modern schools of martial arts, where fools teach, purpose of learning getting of belt becomes, but not bases of technique, not etiquette, not excerpt and skill even, but "to punch somebody".
Students begin to develop follow methods, kata or some mysteriously and secret ways of fight. That students can't build the base without knowledge of elementary bottoms of technique. Meantime, real heroes show example on tatami and provide their students on very long and hard Budo path.
